Hmmmm. I happen to love the “Do Not Call” list law. Consider that all the other things the author references came from a few self-appointed guardians of the public weal (i.e., busybodies), the “Do Not Call” list didn’t come from any particular special interest group but from a groundswell of just about the entire population.
I have seen a figure where it was claimed that apparently nearly every family in the country has at least one phone on the list. That’s not a few nuts trying to impose their worldview on the rest of us whether we like it or not.
Agreed. He should have left out the phone thing. Most people were fed up with having the peace of their homes disrupted several times each evening and all day Saturday and Sunday by callers who knew full well that their calls were unwelcome.
