Foul Usury and Spam

I am amused by gambling. I don't go out of my way to do it, since I figure that waking up each morning and the ensuing hijinx (as a fairly avid cook, knives and fire are everpresent) are enough of a gamble for anyone. Once in a great while I will find myself somewhere where dogs or horses are racing or cocks are fighting, and I might put down a bet. Or I might play boss or liars' dice for drinks. I have only played games in casinos about three times in my life, quit while I was ahead and had a moderately good time, but not so much that I would go out of my way (or forego doing something more interesting) to do it.

As a result I honestly cannot understand people who love to gamble, let alone gambling addiction. My general view towards addiction is that it is a moral failing, not a disease, and should be treated as a moral failing. People who gamble all the time are frittering away their time and money to run and hide from some reality, and that's that.

So, I am generally only annoyed at gambling spam on the blog. I have to delete at least 30 messages a day of that stuff.

Porn spam is another story, especially if it claims to offer rape and incest and homosex. That should be suppressed by the power of the state.

Today I got usury spam, from some Payday loanshark. Like pornography, usury is bad, bad news. Everyday we pass one of these loansharks (who, ironically, has a poster of Malcolm X on his wall) and see the desperate folks who made the mistake of walking in there once and have been scrambling at playing catch up ever since.

I am not a computer whizz, so I do not know how to do all that hacker stuff to disable websites and the like, but if you are, www.americacashfast.com might be a worthy target.
