A good week - FOR DEATH!

[tzikeh]

Death of Lester Maddox. Death of Strom Thurmond. Death of Sodomy laws.

And now?

Death of telemarketers calling me. Today is the first day you can register with DO NOT CALL, a service which telemarketers are legally bound to check and obey. If your name and number are on that list, they cannot call you ($11,000 fine if they do).

There are certain limits - companies can call you if you have purchased from them in the past 18 months, etc. - but this is a HUGE step in the right direction.

Oh, true, I should have pointed out that it's U.S.

But you know, I think I'd rather have marriage rights for everyone and deal with the telemarketers, if we're talking even trade. :)

Too bad we can't have both freedoms in both countries! Maybe someday?
