Oh, I see lots of these music lovers on the street, subway, buses, etc., enjoying themselves with headphones. It's so loud I can hear it from their 'phones a few feet away. Obviously, they will be stone deaf in a few years, I'm sorry to say.
I certainly agree that it's bad manners to blast the music from one's car, or portable radio, in public. But I don't think bad manners are a great, cosmic, political issue requiring days and days of bandwidth on LBO-Talk.
(Ha, I know -- *everything* is a great, cosmic political issue requiring days and days of bandwidth on LBO-Talk. :-) )
