i say yes. i remember a few years ago, i was being called by the same telemarketers EVERY SINGLE DAY. then the government released the "do not call list." it was simple and brilliant. you go to a website (for free!) and put in your phone number. that made it ILLEGAL for any telemarketer to call you (they get fined). since i did that, i received only one telemarketing call (i reported them, and didn't hear from them again).
however, i consider selling things door to door even more pervasive and terrible. you can always not answer the phone or just hang up. but if you come to my door, i don't know who you are before answering. it could be something important! for all i know, you just got shot and need to call 911. or you could be my neighbor needing to tell me something.
but no... i answer and it's someone trying to sell (scam) a magazine subscription. this happens all the time and i'm sick of it!!!! i think this is harassment and should be illegal.
