The problem with Caller ID is not so much that it reveals who is 
calling whom, but rather that it makes the calling party subject 
to being itself called, just by reason of calling someone who HAS 
published his number and/or solicited calls.  

If you call an airline to get a flight schedule, they now may call 
you back.  At any time. In the middle of the night. For any purpose. 
Sales, solicitation, you name it. Or give your number to anyone they 
please.  For any purpose. 

Caller ID is a weapon, and it's aimed at YOU!

The fact that Caller ID may have some value for some purpose for 
some people is not sufficient justification to make ALL people
subject to it, at ALL times, for ALL uses. 
                                           
Caller ID has one purpose: to give added revenue to the Telephone 
companies. At the expense of citizen's privacy. It has no other 
reason for being.
