Political mail (the snail kind) doesn't bother me.  I like it a lot of the
time, because as crap as it is at least it's not the kind of info you get
on TV.  Particularly for small time local politics, it's the best way to
get information.
but what matters is that mail is speech, and political email has to be as
well protected as any other political speech.  Spam is *the* tool for
dissident news, since the face that it's unsolicited means that recipients
can't be blamed for being on a mailing list.

So thats the trick, just let any anecdotal utterances you LIKE be deemed
true until proven false, and then hold other data to the opposite
standard...
Yeah, I see how that could be a handy tool RH.
