Feature Article

My Cold Dead Fingers by John Botscharow I had a very interesting discussion last night with Michelle from SDT Advertising. We are doing regular workshops on Saturdays for the SDT publishers. As the Team Leader I get to do a fair amount of preaching and teaching at these workshops.. Michelle and I were discussing the subject for Saturday - Habeas. That's the company that wants us all to put their patent-pending watermark on our email messages in an attempt to make life miserable for the spammers. The analogy that comes to mind is one of the NRAs favorite targets in the battle over gun control: gun safety locks. What Habeas is trying to do is analogous to say MasterLock coming out with a patent-pending special lock that uses a special key designed by Masterlock and is registered to the purchaser and the purchaser alone. Somehow MasterLock would institute a system analogous to Habeas's verifiable opt in system that says that anyone or anything shot by this gun opted in to be shot. The only difference is that MasterLock's verifiable opt in subscriber would more than likely be dead, The verifiable opt in subscriber would only be subject to words he or she may not want to hear. No, I'm not going where you think with this! Just hang on. Guns have the power to kill and maim and there are many points for and against gun control. I do not intend to get into that issue here. One man with a gun, yes, can kill a number of people. But one man's words can shake a continent or even a world. It was not guns but words - and not the words of an American President but the voices of the oppressed - that brought down the Iron Curtain.. To get back to Habeas and, therefore, to come full circle on this, yes, I am in favor of certain limitations on firearms, especially the type of firearms that private individuals, even collectors can own or sell. The NRA is strongly against such measures. They feel that it is against their constitutional rights. That argument has merit, But, many of these same people who feel gun control is unconstitutional see nothing wrong with what Habeas is trying to do with email. But is not the control of our freedom of speech - and yes, that IS the issue - much more important than the freedom to shoot snakes with an M-16????? The unofficial motto of the anti-gun control group in this country is You'll take my gun when you pry it from my cold dead fingers. Well, Habeas et al, you will take my freedom to say and write and publish whatever I want, even advertising, to anyone who wants to read my words when you pry my keyboard from my cold dead fingers! And if my words have any power at all, I will convince a few of you to stand up and be counted. Your freedom of speech - a much more elemental freedom - is at stake. BTW, the anti-gun people say, when the government takea our guns only the criminals will have guns, I say, when they take our email, only the criminals will have email! Then the spammers will truly rule! John Botscharow is Editor and Publisher of the R Market Daily, the marketing ezine we have to hide. The Daily mailing list is verifiable opt in, but there is no way in hell that Habeas will ever be able to prove or disprove it because the only way they will ever see it is to pry the proof from John's cold dead fingers.
