Well, That's Capitalism!
The parents of Terri Schiavo have authorized a conservative direct-mailing firm to sell a list of their financial supporters, making it likely that thousands of strangers moved by her plight will receive a steady stream of solicitations from anti-abortion and conservative groups.
...
Privacy experts said the sale of the list was legal and even predictable, if ghoulish.
"I think it's amusing," said Robert Gellman, a privacy and information policy consultant. "I think it's absolutely classic America. Everything is for sale in America, every type of personal information."

Translation: *Ding-Dong* YOU'VE GOT SPAM/JUNK MAIL!!
Excellent! Now, your wife can save $19.95 on that autographed 700 Club penis pump she always gets pestered about in her Hotmail and you -- being the man of the house -- get 20% off the consultation fee at The Jerry Falwell College Of Breast Implants. Hey, not only is Jerry the president ... but he's also a client.
Only in America, people.
Only in America ...
