Previously, I had mentioned the hypocrisy behind Arianna's column about how corporate tax cuts are ruining America, while at the same time, she hid behind her corporation and paid a full $700 over the past two years in income tax. Well, today, I got spam from Arianna, asking for my vote in the upcoming California gubernatorial election. I've previously voiced my distaste for spam from political candidates spamming people, but it seems to be getting more and more commonplace. This increases the number of spams from candidates to three (Peter Ueberroth, Howard Dean, and now Arianna).
But while I somewhat understand why they'd be spamming me, as they are probably not aware that most companies that solicit their services are using opt-in lists, it amazes me that Arianna has no stance on anything relating to technology - Arianna's Archive. She touches on the corrupting influence of money, the environment, corporation greed and America's failed drug war, yet, while running for Governor in a state which is very heavily based around technology (can you say Silicon Valley?), she has absolutely no stance on anything relating to tech. Nothing about spam, nothing about copyrights, nothing about fostering growth in the tech sector. Simply amazing.
