 It violates this because it is,
 for the most part, involuntary.
 Furthermore it is a violation
 of certain fundamental principles
 of freedom of association and
 communications besides being a
 kind of repulsive and rather
 juvenille vigilante activity
 in response to the rather messy
 liberties of a democracy. I *do*
 have the right to send flyers
 in an election to my constituents.
 I *do* have the right to mail
 announcments to my neighbours.
 *No-one* have the right to
 interfere with these lawful
 activities in a civil society.
 You are all - Vixie foremost -
 degrading into envelope steaming,
 mail trashing creeps. hardly
 the society I want to see for
 the digital age.
