The list is not "the government holding my hand...". Right now if I don't want telemarketers to call I have to:

1) Have them call me at 6:00 pm, right in the middle of dinner.
2) Get them to stop talking long enough for me to request that I be put on their "do not call" list.
3) Argue with them about how I don't have to call a 1-800 number or write a letter.
4) Get the company information so I can keep a record of who I've made the request to.
5) Hang up
6) Answer to phone at 6:10 pm.
7) Repeat steps 1 through 6.

All the list is doing is making my life easier. I can still make a "do no call" request for the few who slipped through. There just wouldn't be as many.
