ISPs did (and all ISPs wore white hats), then we wouldn't be sitting
here.  From the white-hat ISP perspective, outbound spam is a bug in
their security.  e-stamps won't fix that.

Outbound spam is not a bug in security. Outbound spam is like any
other outbound communication. Bits are sent to the internet sourced
from their customers. Though it may be annoying to you, is my ability
to give you a prank phone call a bug in the telephone system?

Prank phone calls are illegal.  Your ablility to make a single prank
call is not a bug in the telephone system.  If you had the ablility to
make even a dozen prank phone calls per week without being caught,
then I would say there is a bug in the telephone systems.
