"He also CHOOSES to own a phone"

He also has the right to "choose" how he wants to use it... or how it is to be used.

[Fledermaus]

And others with phones have that same right. Or do you want to create a police structure, through wire taps, to determine who can call whom?

Let me put this delicately. You enter a contract with the phone company. You now have access to communications. Under that contract they can publish your name, address and phone number in their White Pages that are now on the internet.

If you don't like that, you have to pay them to have an "unlisted" number. Unless of course you get your way with your totalitarian utopia to force your phone manners on everyone else.

Thank goodness there are busy bodies like you to keep me from my stupidity and relieve me from the horror of actually controlling my own life.
