I don't think the current measures are working, either. I just like most 
of the proposals I've heard even less. Spammers don't need to go to 
jail. I'd rather live with the cost of filtering and IP blocking than 
have to deal with the consequences of a law enforcement regime imposed 
on email. The world needs less fascism, not more.

It scares me that America has become the land where people say, "there 
oughta be a law," before the go looking for other solutions.
