LH: Absolute cure for telemarketers: 1) Get broadband/DSL/satellite/etc. access for internet 2) Ditch the land line phone 3) Go 100% cellularTelemarker's can't call cell phones -- no messing with bogus no-call lists, no screening phone calls, and no interupted practice time unless it's a friend.
I do believe in intelligent extraterrestrial life. Still withholding judgement on whether they are visiting us or not, but I lean toward yes. I just don't buy the alien crop circle connection -- any time we can't explain something there are people who jump on the "it must be aliens" bandwagon.
Now if *I* were an alien and wanted to get the attention of the people of Earth but had been suppressed by governments, I'd just buy air time on a national TV network (any will do) and advertise the next UFO sighting :)
