IN SHADES OF WHITE
My blog title is NOT about a new movie or a current bestseller novel. And it has nothing to do about art.
As summer is fast approaching, beaches being blanketed bodies (alive, hopefully!) car windows zapped down, more people outdoors, I am talking about
NOISE POLLU[TE] SHUN! Definition: POLLUTE - to render impure or morally harmful. SHUN - to avoid deliberately.
I was stopped at a light the other day, and this noise polluter behind me, windows wide open, played his specially equipped extra boom blasted bass rock music SO loud that my car (and stomach) was vibrating to the point, where for 2 minutes, I was getting a major stomach/head AND earache and concerned that my car's glass windows might crack!
It was very annoying to say the least. If this was just an example of what the next few months will bring to my ears, I'll be happy to stay indoors, thank you! While I am NOT an old fogey, I don't want to be polluted! I want to be able to hear a symphony or opera concert 20 or 30 years from now! Yes, this is supposedly a FREE country (although with our present *&%$#@! in office, I am not so sure about that anymore). BUT citizens and others should be more respectful of the harm they are causing to others by blasting their music.
Just like second hand smoking, noise pollution is harmful to your health AND your mental state as well.
SO, for all of you who are guilty of the above, PLEASE think outside your slowing failing hearing little head.
RESPECT the ears of others as well as improving the health of yours!
It's NOT cool to be a BLASTER.
And HECK, I'm going to invest in HEARING AID stock.
