(4,325 posts)32. telephone books are all over this country
so why is everyone so upset because the government is recording their phone numbers. I don't give a heck that they might have ours. I am not a part of a terrorist pack. If everyone wants to keep their numbers hidden, then they had better take their numbers off the book! I will be so glad when those nuts who call me every summer about interest on my credit cards. I want them to know that I don't need calls from them. Now maybe if those numbers were recorded, I would love it. I rarely use the phone. Now what are they doing about the cell phones? Are they getting their numbers too? Lordy, how many thousands of tons of paper are they using for this?

I think a lot of people forgot about the law. Or at least didn't think it was being used.

I'm sure he didn't. As he explained, when he got into office, he saw the results
