Why don't we just outlaw telephone solicitation?
I don't mind cheap rates for junk mail, in fact, I wouldn't
even mind if the government subsidizes junk mail in return
for making telephone solicitation illegal.  Junk mail
I can ignore, or read later for a laugh.  Telephone
calls bug me no end.

Actually, now that I think of it, I would probably leave
it legal for non-profit organizations to do telephone
solicitations, they need all the help they can get.
Plus, I can't imagine a law like this passing Congress
without leaving political phone solicitation legal :-)

Well, now that I've opened my big mouth on the net, I
think I'll write a letter to my congressman, or would
this be better done at the state level?  Gosh, maybe
the net could serve some good if we get some action
out of this!
