Now *this* is exactly the approach that makes the most sense: require mass
marketers to have a specific, affirmative statement that you want to get
junk mail/faxes/phone calls/e-mail...and prohibit them from sending anything
to anyone from whom they do not have such a statement. In fact, it makes so
much sense that I'm quite sure it will never be enacted; the mass marketers
have too many legislators in their pockets. But it's still something that we
can work toward.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
