Do Not Call
The Federal Trade Commission is out to fix telemarketing with a nationwide do not call list. Even if the thing survives promised court challenges, enough exemptions will exist -- for charities, political campaigns, and "existing business relationships" -- that your phone will still be ringing off the hook. And we will be spending about $15 million a year for the FTC's registry.
Can't we just stick with civil judgments and violent threats of dismemberment as remedies?
