“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
— The Continental Congress, July 4, 1776
“The task of statesmanship has always been the re-definition of these rights in terms of a changing and growing social order.”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt (Commonwealth Club Address, 1932)
“Roosevelt was wrong! The principles laid down in the Declaration of Independence are the principles of individual liberty. Our unalienable rights, given to us by God are given to us as individuals. Our rights do not come from society or the government, and they cannot be redefined by politicians. The nature of these rights carries with it the implication of individual responsibility, without which we surrender them.”

Robert Alan Soloway, the "Spam King" pled guilty to three federal charges related to his spamming business yesterday according to the Seattle Times.
Soloway was arrested last summer. Prosecutors said he used networks of compromised computers to send out millions upon millions of junk e-mails since 2003.
The good news is he could get as much as twenty years in prison. The bad news is the other 37 charges were dropped.
Mail fraud. Wire Fraud. Tax Evasion. No charges related to the compromised computers? At least another spammer gets served a steaming plateful.
Now if the Feds could find a way to do the same to trackback and comment spammers.

 | It's about time! I do not like those spammers. I have one name which is being used for several spammers with different IPS numbers. It is so frustrating, because they use a normal name (Daniel). Grrrr. They did finally stop, but that was a pain. Especially since it was my Loving God Holy site!
How are you doing, Perri? Just in case I did not let you know, my URL is now http://rosemarysthoughts.blogspot.com. I'm glad to finally find you again! ;) |

 | I'm glad you found me. I'm doing relatively well. Watching the Democrats fighting each other has become entertaining of late. |
