True, the U.S. government may do that to torture its captives, but most citizens would consider such activity to be an egregious abuse of 1st amendment free speech rights. That's how I think of spam... -teg p.s. For those who believe there is no signficant cost to spam, I'd love to have you put your money where your mouth is.
