A question I had a few years ago...
On Friday, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled that a law to outlaw spam sending to email clients was unlawful. Included in this law was a ban to political messages, which is one of the reasons this law was overturned. The Supreme court said, "The law doesn't make any distinction between e-mails or types of speech, and so it was unconstitutional." This law supposedly violates the freedom of speech outlined in the constitution. However, several issues I saw were,
1) Is it really someone's right of speech to send unwanted emails that don't display any opinionated message but advertise?
2) Is the right to personal property, maybe including email, to be overruled by the person who writes the spam's freedom of speech?
3) Is it lawful to get e-mail addresses from people that do not want spam? People do not want spam in their inboxes, and is violating their space not part of the agreement in a privacy policy between the e-mail client and the user?

Wow
So it's been a while since I wrote anything on this blog... Now it's almost the end of my summer and I realize, IT'S MY LAST REAL SUMMER EVER??!?!? I realize next summer I'll be preparing for college moving in and everything, and everything after that will be away from home (I'll probably be working). I guess now I take everything fore-granted about summer, about sleeping in, being lazy, basically doing nothing and sometimes I wish I had gotten out more, done something amazing (Although ever summer I have gone on huge trips...). Then again, that's what summer's all about, I can do that stuff later in life when I have more freedom. Never again will I be able to wake up after 12 every single day. This is probably a exaggeration because I will be able to sometimes, but it's not going to happen as often after college.

I Know...
I haven't posted for a while and that's because I've been busy catching up with school and a lot of AP Exams starting next week. Those are so fun. Anyway I was surfing the web for a little bit and I found that NBC has a gallery of pictures of the week that they maintain throughout the year. I looked at it for a little bit and before I knew it I was already wasting hours on it. I thought it was really interesting. The pictures range from war photos to pictures of the countryside. I warn you, they can get pretty graphic, but definitely check it out.
