Oh, bullshit.

No one's stopping the damned telemarketers from opening their mouths.

But I sure as hell don't have to let them say their piece on my damn telephone!!!!

See my post here. Many are missing my point.

Heck with the telemarketers. Don't worry about them. They can't call you without a list.

THE LIST should be everyone's concern. Companies, Government and whoever else I'm missing, SELL our information for profit. Some without our consent, others with 'misled' consent. All and and all, when did our name and personal data become a commodity? AND why shouldn't we get a kick back?

m1-lightening posted that there is a Privacy Act Bill In Progress. THIS is the bill we need to support. If people can't sell our names, then there is NO LIST for the telemarketers to call you on.

You're really missing the point of the ruling. Get rid of the exemptions for the favored groups, and then you can have your law.
