I learned that in school. I was no "honor student" either. Perhaps this little twit should have been paying more attention in civics/history class.

It'd be nice if that were enforced.

I believe there are some nice war-time laws as well.

How does USC Title 18 apply in this situation? The post office doesn't own the internet.
