Problem is, I end up getting subscribed to mailing lists all the time because a lot of people with the same last name and a similar first name don't pay the fuck attention to what address they're typing in.
THIS! I have a rather regional last name... it's not common. But every moron out there seems to think it's theirs. I've done a lot of the same things that others have done... responded, canceled, ignored, etc. I've even tried to get the sources of these to require a confirmation link be sent to the subscribing email... no luck there either.
Also, GMail is very good at catching SPAM, in my experience. Every once in a while, I'll get a few that I report and from then on, I don't see them anymore.
You're forgetting that anyone who gets it now is an idiot.
Really? So a health worker that comes into contact with an Ebola patient that is undiagnosed and gets ill is an idiot?

I bought a VIc-20 in 1982 to use in my woodworking business. I learned BASIC on it by trying to key in the Tank vs UFO game that was printed in the manual.

Sorry, you lost me there.
I once picked up this book in a bookstore. I read a few pages into the first chapter, where he claims that Republicans believe in beating newborn babies with "sticks, belts and wooden paddles". I stopped reading at that point, figuring that such a partisan shill can't possibly have anything useful to say.
I don't know where and how you were raised, but the references to paddling kids sure resonate with my southern US upbringing. "Spare the rod, spoil the child."

Spreading knowledge of how malaria spreads and how to stop it will stop FAR more cases than a proprietary malaria treatment.
boil water. and explain why, and how (to short a time is almost as bad as not doing it at all). Drain swamps, kill the mosquito.
Knowledge is power...
Correct... internet (knowledge) = long term solution. Treatment = short term. Both have value.
I have been preaching this same message for years. I was hoping some of the "stimulus" money the US has spent in the last 4-5 years would be targeted at building network infrastructure.

For the most part you can just live your life. If you are just going about daily business you have little to fear. The problem arises if and when you want to make a significant change to the status quo. Say you want to join the Occupy movement, or advocate against hydraulic fracking, or agitate for criminal proceedings against Wall Street felons. These new law enforcement abilities will be used against you to preserve that status quo that so many powerful people benefit so much from.
