The National Do Not Call Registry is open for registrations. Registering now will prohibit solicitous calls to your home phone starting October 1st-- from most telemarketers. I'm rather annoyed at that short list of exempt institutions, as almost all of the telemarketers that call my home fall into those categories. I must remember to look into it more, but I doubt there is any moral rationale for exempting those categories, they just happened to lobby hard enough.
