In the future, all computers will be fitted with guns. When you spam from
your address, it is like giving enough current to a diode - the floodgates
open as the 50,000 person vote passes giving them a few hours to man the
gun in your computer.

In a movie of the future, there is a touching scene...

Son: Dad, why did the computer shoot mama? And why are Coodles and 
Snowflake all bloody?

Father: It's because I sent spam, son. I know I shouldn't have
and the Good Lord has seen fit to punish me. At least I have you,
son.

[A steel-piercing bullet rips through the table they are hiding behind
in slow-motion, drilling through wood, finding the boy's heart.

Father: No! What have I done!

Son [in dying breath]: Curse you, father!
