American Dissent

American Dissent is about the Ideals America stands for. "Truth, Justice and The American Way" as Superman would put it. It will also be about other random things that come up and how they relate. It will also include the occasional "puff piece" like movie reviews or good meals because those too are part of America.

Low Quality Spam

I miss the good old days of junk email. It used to be I would open my email box, and there would be an acre of crappy spam, it was irritating, but sometimes entertaining. "MILFs want to suck you DRY!" I mean hey, I'm a guy, I'm single, I like getting laid just as much as the next guy. Not that I'm about to give my credit card information to some dump so I can stare at bad porn, that'd be dumb to actually do, but even as crummy as the spam was, once in a while there would be something humorous.

Not anymore. These days I open my email box and inside is a sea of flotsam telling me to buy their cheap fake rolexes, or how I can get ciialis cheap or viagra, or how some new company that doesn't exist is offering to let me get in on the start up for something that is just going to explode! I was much happier getting bad porn ads than I am with this crap.

And if it's not spam rolex copies, it's viruses telling me that my account is going to be shut down. Look, go out, and get a virus scanner. Hell, go to McAfee and use their online one, it's free, but stop leaving your computer wide open to these things! If you have a computer and don't protect it, I have news for you. Your computer will be stolen. No, it won't be taken off your desk, it will still be there, except it will be working for someone else.
