I have a Simplified Modest Proposal along the same lines. I propose that we classify spamming (along with any intrusive advertising, like junk mail) as a form of premeditated mass murder.
Frank Herbert sums it up very nicely:
Between depriving a man of one hour from his life, and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. You have done violence to him, consumed his energy.
--Frank Herbert, Dune Messiah
Since spammers collectively waste many lifetimes that could otherwise be productively spent, we should take the valuable organs of these heinous criminals, and donate them to people who are waiting for a replacement organ. This simultaneously relieves the suffering of people who need replacement organs, and rids the world of some of its most insidious criminals.
