As for the idea that because there is a phone book, you have the right to
interrupt me whenever you want, that's like saying that because I am walking
down a public street, you have the right to stop me and refuse to let me pass
until you've given me your spiel.  Both are bunk!

(The other (often-suggested) solution is to have an unlisted phone number.  This
doesn't work--many companies just dial sequentially.)
