I beleave you are wrong and who you were quoting was right. To listen to
Cell or Cordless is illigal in anyway as far as I know in the states. now
for somone like me, a Canadian (and dam proud of it!) .. We are TRULY a free
Country. There is no such law here. The only thing closest to it is third
party. That is, if I hear about your wife having an affair, I cannot tell
anyone.
