Comments:

Regarding the new loophole allowing unwanted telephone calls is another attempt by unscrupulous marketers to invade the public privacy even though they are recorded messages. I received several of these messages during the presidential election including Karl Rove, Barbara Bush and many others from both parties. These messages will come at noon time or dinner time when they know someone might be home and I find this very annoying. It took several years to get rid of telemarketing calls out of repect for a person's privacy. There is already enough spam on the internet which is a bother, but at least I can handle at my own convenience. These telephone calls will probably be outsourced from overseas some where and we won't be able to understand the message any way! My opinion is STOP this madness and greed by some over-zealous entrepeneur who the public shouldn't trust in the first place!
