IM on the do not call list bothfor home and cell phone and do not get very many calls at all they are very rare. What i do when i do get one is say can youhold on a minute, then put the phone down and leave it there for a while. I dont know why you are getting so many calls ifyou are on the list.

ONe billion dollars is not a lot of money today, when i believe we are spending about a billion dollars every few days in iraq. Many innovations and things we use today have come out of the space program. A billion dollars is not going to solve those other problems.

With the current philosophical current in Washington and apparantly in the majority of the country, judging by presidential elections anyway, we as a nation dont want to confront or address those problems. Until that changes, they will just get worse.
