More Do Not Call
Thudfactor is just thrilled with MCI's telemarketers.
This is a good example why it should be made easy for us to take these folks to court and collect damages. And it is a good example why you should be able to call your local police, complain about harassment and trespassing, and have them actually do something about it.
A Do Not Call List should not be required.

I support the Do Not Call list, but actually I agree with you -- it should not be required. One of the major failings of our legal system is that representation is only guaranteed in criminal cases, but much of life (such as telephone solicitiation laws) are regulated in the civil code. As a result, monied interests have much greater access to legal representation than normal people. Arguably we could do away with a lot of government regulation, and even labor unions, if it was easier for an individual to sue.
But our "tort-reform" president is eager to make such things more, not less, difficult.
