USA Goverment Abuse Of World.

Nearly All Spam Is American.

• Daily I get hundreds of spams & bounces from spammer maqueraders etc, nearly all Americans, & very few from the rest of the world. a small part of that'll be because there's a lot of Americans with computers, but the main reason is because the USA Congress expressly permits Spam (? Bill S.1618 Title iii ?) Spamming is illegal in Germany, (& UK & rest of EU I think).
• This typically American pollution & abuse of the world just encourages increased contempt for the USA Government.
• The USA's `Pregnant Chad + Oil' president, elected 2000, is now spending extra US tax payer money for a new USA public relations department, now America is finally realising just how many non Americans have come to hold the USA government in contempt for a wide variety of issues. (Subsequent to writing the above, Newsweek published "Why Hate America?" on 9th Sept 2002 Page 56, with contributions from Oscar Arias, former president of Costa Rica & Nobel peace laureate, Chinua Achebe, Nigerian novelist, Eisuke Sakaibara professor at Tokyo University & former vice minister of Finance for international affairs; Felipe Gonzalez, former prime minister of Spain)).
• It would be better if the US goverment saved it's image distortion budget, & revoked its obnoxious spam & other policies:
  Kyoto (global warming); Steel Imports (provoking trade war); Not paying the UN what it owes; [ Land mine policy - not sure, are they one of the last not to sign ? correct me if wrong ]; Refusing the World Court; 20+ years of pointless computer industry encryption disruption (embargoing hardware containing supposed secret software, which software we all in fact already had) ; Even more irresponsible patent granting than Europe, (inc. Neem tree & software); Forcing unlabelled gene manipulated food on Europe; Not breaking up the Microsoft world exploiting monopoly (another Bush inspired failure I guess, things started OK under Clinton) ; Forcing USA law on an unwilling world (EG maritime law, computer export law in UK, etc, offensive decades long imperial pressure); Even labelling British as `Aliens' in their own country! (on notice boards of USA run satellite telecom spy centres in Yorkshire); etc.
• Guantanamo: The legal limbo, farce, & planned dummy secret courts by the USA military in the USA held territory at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, are a farce, & an evasion of the USA constitution & international obligations, & a perversion of ancient concepts such as Habeus Corpus. Internment should be a temporary emergency measure, until due legal process takes over. The USA has cheated too long, Time for the USA to firmly define USA law as applying to all Gunatanamo internees, guards, & supervisors, & to implement proper legal due process. If special laws are needed for Guantanamo, then pass them, just don't cheat, & say prisoners, are outisde the legal system. The un-necessarily long extra-legal farce disgraces America, is an un-necessary affront to the world, allies in particular, & should be regularised under USA law... even if it needs some new laws debated & passed, USA has had more than long enough to do that.
• Americans sensibly rejected British imperialism during the war of independence. At the Boston Tea Party 28 Oct 1767, the cry was "No taxation without representation" Non-Americans now have equally no representation on the USA's many laws & policies that damage the world, so we should equally not comply with & obstruct America's selfish requirements, when it acts like a spoilt child on the world stage. (Certainly other countries behave selfishly too, on isolated matters, but few on such a wide front so often & noticeably)
• Some world- aware Americans, to their credit, really are quite embarrassed by their government's crass behaviour. Perhaps if the USA didn't consistently degrade it's previous good name with so many minor idiocies as listed above, people might trust it more when it comes to dealing with occasional serious rogue states issues.
• I like many individual Americans I meet, but much USA Government policy that affects the rest of the world, along with all USA Spammers, requires wholesale rejection. USA Congressmen who voted for their spam promotion law, & other world damaging laws, are invited to file their offensive USA laws, "where the sun doesn't shine" to use an American phrase.
• Credit where it's due: Though the Americans are the world's major spammers. Americans citizens (but not goverment) are also in the lead in creating organisations & software to try to deal with Spam excrement, see list.
