I'm convinced that many (if not most) of the people I see (and hear!)
are as afraid of silence as most seem to be of darkness.

I couldn't agree more -- The old saying that "Your rights end at the
tip of my nose" applies at least as much to my eardrums.

If you want to run the streets naked, knock your self out; I don't
have to look at you.  But when you walk/drive the streets with your
stereo turned up to the threshold of pain, I *will* hear it no matter
how hard I try not to.  If you want to ruin *your* ears, that is your
business but I'm damned if I want you to ruin *mine*.  The same thing,
obviously, applies to loud exhaust systems on vehicles.
