That's ridiculous...who said anything about sharing anything?

What a totally insane comparison to think allowing my phone to ring implies anyone could move into my home. The difference is so far apart you'd need warp speed to get there.

A phone isn't a right. My goodness, we are only about 40 years ahead of party lines. No privacy there.

What's next? Giving the death penalty to annoying idiots that can't dial the correct number and call you by accident (usually twice because most idiots can't bear to think they dialed the wrong number). How about a public thrashing for a prank call that calls at "dinner time".

And what exactly is "dinner time"? Do you now want the federal government to define that?

But you guys are correct, let's ban all forms of annoying advertising...get it out of our mailboxes, e-mails, pop-ups, telephones, billboards, magazines, newspapers, tv stations, radio programs, those blue road signs on the interstates (I'm so annoyed when Shell is on both the "Gas" and "Food" signs), high school annuals, sports programs you buy at the event, signs at concerts, blah, blah, blah.

And while we are at it I'm sick of product placements in movies. Ban them now!

Yeah, give the federal government even more power over free enterprise. They say politicans, pollsters and "charities" won't be on "THE LIST". Right.

How long before the minority whiners start banning charities they don't like? "Okay, the Lukemia Society I'll let through but not the Boy Scouts because we don't like their stance on homosexuals"...or "you can call if you raise money for AIDS research but not if you are the Salvation Army because your religious nature annoys and offends some"?

This BS is getting into "city tells eight year old she can't have a lemonade stand without a permit" territory.

How about this one...ban bumper stickers that have ads on them. I get real annoyed following the "Herbalife" guy.

Or better yet, let's just start beating up Avon Ladies.
