[speaker001:] there you go
[speaker002:] what do you think invades your privacy
[speaker001:] oh well people that call on the phone all the time to try to sell you something you know that that try to sell you the newspaper and uh what carpet cleaning and uh what else roof repair uh and enough well I think it's a waste of paper the people that always leave uh junk mail and because um you just end up throwing it away most of the time probably eighty percent of the the junk mail that you get is is um something that you don't need and the same way with those calls what is it oh MCI MCI really does even when you tell them no they keep calling back
[speaker002:] MCI what's that
[speaker001:] MCI it's the long distance telephone company
[speaker002:] oh now see I I really don't have much trouble with I just say no thank you and hang up
[speaker001:] um-hum well they won't they won't take a no for an answer here for some reason they just keep calling back
[speaker002:] I had a carpet service call up three times
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] all within in an hour but I uh I do telemarketing
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] so uh I'm very polite and I just say no thank you and say no thank you very politely and I hang up and
[speaker001:] uh
[speaker002:] don't bother me after that
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] so I think the only thing that really bothers me is if when somebody contacts me and they try to get information out of me like the Census Bureau United States Census Bureau that bothered me
[speaker001:] um-hum oh yeah um-hum
[speaker002:] I didn't feel they had a right to know how many bedrooms were in my house even
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] that I think is my invasion privacy because it's the government and I don't understand what their need to know is
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] and I think that is my biggest objection to anything as far as invading my privacy if somebody wants personal information out of me but telephone calls I figure they don't bother me one way or the other
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] uh I know when I do telemarketing um I'm a soft person if if someone says I am not interested I'll just say fine and back out
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] and I make very good sales but I'm not uh as I said I'm not half as pushy as these people because I don't really care I mean if if they're not interested fine you know that's it
[speaker001:] you can't force them to be
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] no
[speaker002:] and I'm not pushing something down their throat that uh I don't think is a good item anyway that I don't think I could do anyway
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] but I feel like oh movie stars or sure it's part of their I guess they're  portray being a movie star they get themselves in these rag sheets but uh I think they go too far I think that's invasion of privacy
[speaker001:] oh yeah because they follow them around twenty four hours a day
[speaker002:] yeah oh yeah
[speaker001:] and you know they do Ted Kennedy of course he's breaking the law all the time so it's a different story then you know but but Ed McMahon I mean you know who cares about Ed McMahon he's probably hasn't done anything interesting in the last thirty years that they've been on the air you know and he has a chauffeur maybe he drinks but he never drives a car either you know it's not the same with Johnny Carson
[speaker002:] no I think my seriously my classification of of invasion of privacy is trying to get personal information
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] and putting it falsely out or just bombarding me for the answers
[speaker001:] without your and without your permission um-hum
[speaker002:] right this to me is is my invasion of privacy
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] anytime I can honestly say no or throw the paper away or but you can always write to uh oh I forgot the name of it and stop the junk mail that I've done because I don't want junk mail anyway so I wrote to them when it came on the air so I don't get any of that bull that it works by the way
[speaker001:] oh good
[speaker002:] but uh the telephone doesn't bother me because I leave it half the time on uh you know answering service anyway unless I'm home
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] so I figure I can turn it off one way or the other but I think that's the only bottom line thing that I dislike because it does other than the U S Census um what was it oh the the carpet place that called me three times
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] that I felt was invasion because it was the same carpet place and called me three times I mean one should be sufficient
[speaker001:] that's right
[speaker002:] but if people don't use the telephone it's like I don't know when the police has their project going and I don't know when the other ones have their project going and when they want to pick up down my street for things that's the only way I know
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] and uh that's it
[speaker001:] well you have to have the telephone but you can't you know and and it's sometimes it's hard to screen out all the calls that you don't want
[speaker002:] well see there's no way of knowing that's you know that's the problem like the product I sell
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] uh I sell mostly to older people which can't get it in a normal public situation the only way we'd get to them is by telephone
[speaker001:] um
[speaker002:] and uh most of them like it because the company I work for is nationwide and uh reputable and they know that hey we're backing it one hundred percent
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] but if we were denied the right to call people up these people would never be able to get it because your normal companies that offer it do not offer it in the amounts that we do and they'd never have it then at that point
[speaker001:] hm uh-hum
[speaker002:] because we offer it in a very low you know quantity so I mean I I don't know what to do as far as that's concerned but it is nerve racking I mean it is nerve racking to have the telephone but at least as I said you can always say no thank you
[speaker001:] right um-hum
[speaker002:] I gather you get a lot of telephone calls
[speaker001:] sometimes yeah some days it just rings off the wall
[speaker002:] yes yes yes in other words you own your own home
[speaker001:] no no uh-huh
[speaker002:] I think that's where they hit most of us like I own my own home and you just know about what time like some days I hate staying home because the phone rings all the time but uh I don't know I haven't been able to figure that out something else to do about it when they call up and want to say well tell me this this this this and I'll give you a free something or another
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] my answer is no thank you I don't need it and they say well don't you want to know what's free and I say no if I have to give them so much to answer the questions to get fifty rolls of film or something like that they're taking something away from me and I don't like that
[speaker001:] right yeah  even if I guess it's for coupons they they have a survey they run and it I guess it one of them is supposed to be a smokers survey but the questions go a lot farther than having to do anything with smoking
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and they ask that you know they start out and they ask you even even to your income level I think that's you know whether you buy a TV dinner or not I don't think it has anything to do with what
