Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

I've been a bit quiet lately, and since I'm not studying for my bar exam it seems I should be at least as able to post as Lily Malcolm, who expresses skepticism about a proposal to fight spam by assessing a tax on email, possibly exempting a certain number of emails sent per year. If instead of exempting a fixed number you exempt all email from people and entities who would be allowed to call you with the new "do-not-call list", and raise the "tax" to a level specified by the recipient of the email within a certain range (say $1 to $100), then it looks very much like the "call sometimes" list that I swear I proposed when the do-not-call was legislated, though I can't seem to find the post.

Yes, yes, I'll work on my sentence length. It's still better than the freshman paper in which one sentence spent three quarters of a page trying to include the word "Jabberwocky".
