No Calls from Telemarketers

Telemarketing ranks as one of the most annoying professions, right up there with mainstream media television "news" "reporters", insurance agents, and slumlords. Thankfully, you can register your numbers to have them added to the no-call list - including your cell phone.

I suspect a far more effective way at removing the bothersome and annoying calls would be to create a yes-call list, in which only the folks that take the time to register their numbers for a telemarketing list could be called. This would probably also save state tax dollars by essentially eliminating the need for staff time on this issue.
