Let's face it, none of us are so essential that people need to be able to connect with us immediately on a daily basis.
I personally think being available to loved ones, people in need, a faith community, or a neighbor in trouble is very important. I also believe that incessant calling is a form of harassment that invades our home and peace. We should be able to have our phones on without fear of harassment. I registered on a Do Not Call List, have an unlisted number, and would like to see violators of my privacy fined for each offense. We are all essential to our families and communities.
