Something is very wrong with the good ole U.S.A. Our court system is completely out of control and off base.

Every morning the telephone rings at my house. It’s a computer generated caller that recognizes that an answering machine picks up and then it leaves a message to let me know I’ve been approved for another credit card and I need to call right away.

On the rare night Carol and I are home before 9 p.m., the phone rings. We know it’s not our granddaughter. That would be very early in the morning where they live in the Azores.

Occasionally the phone call is our son in college at Auburn.

More often than not, it’s someone just trying to make a living peddling something over the phone lines.

I have no problem with telemarketers. I have no problem with someone trying to make a living.

Millions of Americans logged on to the Do Not Call web site to stop these telemarketing calls.

Some left coast court decided that these millions of Americans did not have the right to decide if they wanted to accept these phone calls or not.

What about my rights? Why can’t I say no?

While I’m on a roll, why can’t my community chose to say a prayer before a football game? What happened to majority rule, community standards and the like? Since when does the one atheist in the crowd have more rights than the majority?

Gotta go. The phone’s ringing. It’s probably my granddaughter calling.
