Guess I'm in the minority on this Do Not Call thing....

[vi5]

I don't like getting annoying telemarketing calls any more than anyone else. But something about the concept of politicians making this decision which seems to me to be pretty clear cut freedom of both speech and association.

I agree that it should be a law that if you get a call and ask to be removed from a companies mailing/call list that they should take you off. But something about the whole registry strikes me as not good. And the fact that one judged stayed the decision then Congress decided to override their decision and now a second judge has had to step in make the whole thing even more sketchy to me.

My bottom line is that yes, I get annoyed when I have to pick up the phone and say "not interested" and hang up. But in the big scheme of things it's a grand total of 2 minutes of my time tops. I'll take that over lots of people being unemployed.

Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way. Who knows. It just seems like there are so many more important things to worry about and have our politicians and courts worrying about.
