I'll get back to you
The Do-Not Call registry expands. In my fair state of Massachusetts we already had one. NPR's morning news show, Morning Edition reported that the telemarketing industry is planning to file suit on the grounds of First Amendment rights, which was then followed up by a whiny diatribe from a former telemarketer who spent ten years on the job who complained about the rude behavior of people who didn't appreciate being called at home.
Telemarketers are more into harassment than they are about excercising a First Amendment right. I mean if Bill O'Reilly called me every evening, it would be much more annoying than the brief flip past his TV show. The telephone compells a person to respond to it, radio and TV allow the choice of program option (albeit less so, if Mikey Powell and the FCC have their way). As for the whiney former telemarketer: no one forced you into the job, you get no sympathy here. |
