Non-techies trying to do a techie job. These legislators need to sit with experts to determine exactly how to proceed. Only then will they understand the limitations of their proposals, which can then help them to craft something better and stronger. |

| How many of our Legis and Sens actually are tech saavy and have no clue what Spam is? They all must know at least know low level tech stuff.

Not exactly sure what you're saying, but I think that these people don't know how to think these technical issues through. That is, they don't understand the extent of the problem and the ramifications of their legislation. They all probably know what spam is, but don't really get the big picture. |

| I keep wondering if we need a specialized segment of congress. Legislators who must pass additional technological screening to be admitted. A "techno-senate" if you will.
Only senators/representatives from this group are allowed to forge, or vote on technology legislation?
I can't help but shudder everytime I see a 87 year old man, whose never even turned a PC on, voting on the latest legislative push. |

Same for the Energy and Medicare Bills.
They need to justify their salaries and show the populace they are not just there to support the local D.C. escort services |

| I think it goes to these people being extremely arrogant. You can hear it in the tone of their voices. Because they can expound nonsensically--but eloquently--on these topics, they think it makes them knowledgeable on the topic.
I'm so sick of these morons trying to make the decisions. I'm even more sick of the fact that there aren't any normal people that can afford to run and be elected. If you aren't wealthy to start with, you likely aren't getting elected. Exceptions exist, of course, but not enough of them.
So much for meaningful anti spam regulations. |
