This is the second time in 3 months I have received a telemarketing call on my phone, my cell phone. I just now got one trying to sell me an HGH product. I can't remember what the last one was about. I have received telemarketing calls on my cell, but those have been solicited, and expected. The two I am referring to were very non solicited calls.
It should be against the law for telemarketers to call a cell phone. It still is not. Although some places are stricter then others. The one call I got the lady hung up right away when I said this was a cell, the other was a stupid drone that didn't seem to care.
So do I put my cell phone on the "Do Not Call" list? I guess so.
One of the main reasons I got a cell phone and got rid of the land line was to get away from telemarketers. Of course the current rate is better then 2-3 a week. But still, I have to pay for those bastards calls.
OK, I have calmed down, and changed the title of this post :p

Does anyone like calls from telemarketers?
I got a bunch of messages left on my cell phone voice mail from some lady representing some education association. I have no idea how she got my number.
How many people actually want telemarketing calls? Everyone I talk to hates them--often passionately. I thought this was a democracy. Yet again, our politicians put special interests over the interests of the people. One of the few things that I have liked during Bush's time in office is the Do Not Call list. But why do we even have to go through the contortions? And this list has loopholes. If you have purchased anything from a company, they can call you for a year and a half (at least this is the exception to the list that I remember, offhand). Let's get rid of telemarketing, once and for all.
