There is currently a bill circulating and gaining support in Congress, which would be another law to curb SPAM, Phishing, and such. It is called the 'US SAFE WEB Act of 2005.' US SAFE WEB is an acronym for; Undertaking Spam, Spyware, And Fraud Enforcement With Enforcers Beyond Borders. Unfortunately all the morons in Washington D.C. go around making laws assuming that it will stop crime. For instance there is an FAA Law that you cannot steal an Aircraft. Another that you cannot park a vehicle in a building in NYC that is not an approved parking structure; but did the International Terrorists care about that? No, of course not. Indeed if we are not going to enforce the laws we already have such as the CAN SPAM Act, which the Federal Trade Commission is impotent in curbing, as they cannot even stop the Viagra SPAM, then how or who on Earth is going to enforce this next law if this bill passes? Are we going to send FTC employees on joy rides on taxpayers money trotting around the globe looking for Spammers? Give me a break. When will lawmakers and bureaucrats realize that they are incompetent and cannot seem to get it done? They are so full of excuses and busy attacking those who are doing things and automatically assume that they can solve all the worlds problems by making laws. Yet they fail to enforce the laws on the books on their own agencies? Think on this, what a sham on the American People. |
