![[Item Permalink]](http://radio.weblogs.com/0112083/images/ur_bullet.gif){kind=small} Do you trust your spam filters? (Over 1000 spam messages in a week) -- Comment()
Today there were 1043 messages in my junk mail folder (automatically filtered). This is a new record. I received first time ever over 1000 junk mail messages in a week. Last spring I received about 300-600 junk mail messages in a week, and now the amount has doubled. I predict the number will be about 1500 by January 2005. There is no way I could filter manually 200 junk mail messages daily. You just have to trust that no important messages get lost by spam filtering.

Doc Searls points to Linguistics 290L with George Lakoff: "This is a graduate course [...] that goes systematically through the mechanisms of mind and language used in political discourse - in policy-making, advocacy, and in political language." Should this course be required of everyone to get the permission to vote?
