Oh, and regarding the kooky libertarians, I used to work in tech support for an ISP. One of them called, and told me he was a Libertarian within the first 10 seconds. We ended up having a 15 minute conversation because he claimed we were restricting his freedoms by imposing spam filters, and accused us of going to the government and pushing for anti-spam laws. He finally started yelling "This is NO LONGER a free economy if I cannot go out and pay for service that I WANT!"
To which I responded, "The mail servers are our private property and we can do whatever we want with them. You have the freedom to run your own ISP and refuse to filter any spam if you'd like." Then he hung up.
