Topic: Robo Calls

Recently the FCC Chairwoman made this statement, ""We’re not going to stop until we get robocallers, spoofers, and scammers off the line.” 

I’m skeptical that they can.  These robo callers are crafty buggers – and besides, would it necessarily be a good thing?  Will we go too far?

I made a little film of what might happen.

Yet another insight into your weird and wonderful mind pberk.

How long into the future do you think this scenario will be, and who would be the unlucky person being gently bullied into submission? Lots to think about. I did like the special effects, especially the roaming eye, you have a marvelous imagination.

As for myself, I will stick with videoing flowers, trees and shrubs, with the odd bit of wildlife or even an occasional steam train!!

It take all sorts - have to go now, the telephone's ringing...

It would take a genuine, bona fide, credentialed art critic to determine what I meant in the film and to devise a time table for future events that are foretold in the story.  Only a critic can uncover the true meaning within the work of art.  Filmmakers are mere mortals and cannot tell why something appeals to the inner being of other mortals.  Critics are Gods who throw thunderbolts from the heavens.  I've been hit by a few so I know. 

Meanwhile, I'm still getting robo calls while the FCC fiddles.

Hmmm.  Unfortunately I don't have a block button on my Uniden phone.
