Here is the answer: buy a telephone answering device. You don’t leave your keys in your car, or in your front door: why leave the keys to your mind in your telephone?

When someone phones you these days, they are generally not your friends -lock your telephone, pick up and respond to real people. Spend $10 and free yourself.

Or, in the alternative, support our idiotic government which spends millions of dollars on telemarketing fraud, a wasted effort similar to the war on drugs.
