There seems to be a lot of noisy people who feel the need to inflict their noisy way of life on the world with no concern for those who prefer the quiet. This is one of those things in life where the two sides of an issue are not equal and one is clearly in the wrong. It is not the responsibility of quiet people to wear ear plugs to deal with loud people; it is the responsibility of loud people to live alone in the woods and stop being a nuisance to everyone around them.
