No, we (the true conservatives in this thread) are saying that the choice to have a phone has potential consequences. If you can't live with the consequences (an annoying phone call here or there) maybe you aren't adult enough to handle the responsibility of participating in a nationwide phone network.
I had a local phone line through Bellsouth several times. I had no additions (call waiting, caller ID, etc) and I had maybe 1-2 telemarketers a night...average of 3 nights a week. It took a total of 2 minutes of my time to rid myself of those calls. But I guess that some people (non-conservatives) are more inclined to have the nanny state protect them instead of them taking action on their own. Keep bringing the legislation you big government lovers!
huh? ok, so you get a couple of dozen salespersons trooping their way to your doorbell and ringing it and interrupting you every 10 to 20 minutes. You're okay with that? Then, you've got no work to do at all.
