It's this simple: if you do not want *them* to use the phone *you* pay for, you sign up for the do-not-call-list. The government doesn't make you sign up for the do not call list: you do it yourself. They get a smaller pool of people to wade through who are actually interested in telephone solicitation, and your phone is not tied up with their sales pitches. Let these lowlife phone spammers go door-to-door selling their wares.

Let these lowlife phone spammers go door-to-door selling their wares. This is my biggest worry about do-not-call. They WILL go door to door. Instead of an ignorable phone ring during dinner hour, there will be parades of former telemarketers ringing the doorbell. And SCOTUS recently ruled that door-to-door pitches are pretty much unstoppable. I think there are large downsides to do-not-call. I signed up, but I would have preferred something less than this nuclear option. This market will be destroyed, and a new one will emerge. (Actually, this is all moot. SCOTUS will kill do-no-call)

I pay for my sidewalk and driveway and those girl scouts still walk on it to sell those cookies. There ought to be a law! I demand a constitutional ammendment!
