*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR NOISE ***

I didn't much care for pop music when I was a teen, and I still don't.
I am FED UP with having others musical preferences forced on me.

This flame is about *NOISE* :

* At work *  Around here people play portable radios, car radios with
           12v. power supplies, home stereos, etc. in offices and labs.
           Most turn it down when asked -- but (1) I really don't want it
           down, I want it OFF, and (2) I'm fed up with constantly
           having to ask.
* At play *  Around here, all the city owned swimming pools are
           equipped with metal horn loudspeakers -- the better to
           blare top 40 MOR music with.  The park district people
           respond "but most people using the pools like it".
           Maybe so, but it is my pool too - I pay taxes to
           maintain and operate it.
* At home *  My city gov't thinks it's a great idea to allow
           the merchants assoc. to hire rock bands to play in
           city parking lots -- LOUD, you can hear it over a
           mile away.  I don't LIKE being forced out of my home
           by city hall.
