It never fails to amaze me that a person can send a letter to a 
politician telling them that they should shove a crowbar up a child's
ass on primetime TV, and get back a reply stating that their opinion
is important to the recipient.

Once technology is further advanced, I am certain that we can look
forward to receiving replies from world leaders which begin with,
"Thank you for the DEATH THREAT!!!"

                                                *Automated response*
     
     Dear Friend:  
     
     Thank you for taking the time to contact my office.  Your views and 
     opinions are important to me.
     
     Due to the high volume of Internet requests that I receive daily, I am 
     unable to provide you with an immediate response.  However, if you have 
     included a current mailing address and phone number, you will receive a    
     response by phone or via the U.S. Postal Service.  If you did not include a
     mailing address and would like to receive a response, please feel free to  
     'reply' to this email, attach a copy of your original message, and be sure 
     to include your postal address and phone number.
     
     Additionally, due to provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, all federal 
     agencies are prohibited from releasing any information regarding an 
     individual without that individual's written consent.  This protection 
     means that if you are requesting my assistance with a particular agency 
     or casework of any kind, I am unable to help until I have something in 
     writing, complete with signature, from the person concerned to show 
     that I am authorized to check into the matter. Unfortunately, email 
     does not meet this requirement.    
     
     I regret any inconvenience that this delay in corresponding may cause. 
     Again, thank you for contacting my office.  
     
     
     Sincerely,
     
     John McCain
     U.S. Senator
