I think your record in supporting overseas outsourcing and unpaid overtime (creating the need for fewer emloyees) demonstrates that your concern isn't for the employees, but for the business owner. That, in and of itself isn't necessarily a bad thing. Further, I'm not sure why you're convinced the federal no call list as instituted would cost jobs. If I tell you not to call me, and you do- that's legally harassment. Why should business owners be above the law? I have concern for all people, whether they are business owners, employees, or neither. The reason no-call list cost jobs is obvious. If you don't have as many numbers to call, you don't need as many people making the calls. Less bidness, fewer employees. It takes more than an unwanted phone call to prove harassment. I'm not saying that govenment can't pass such a law, it's just a little too big-brotherish for my tastes, like an Ashcroft/Reno love child on steroids. |

What to do about the jobs lost is quite simple. Get those people working on the receiving end of the telephone, so we don't have to talk to a machine when we want customer service. |

Rights are created by law. We can make as many as, and of whatever kind, we please. Making a right to be free of telemarketing annoyances would not be a problem. Rights are not created by law - they are secured by law. The law said white people could own black people and black people were nothing more than property - does that mean that those black people didn't have the right to be free, or that those white people had the right to own those black people? No, of course not. Your rights are your rights, whether there is a law or not. - Rick |
