    Good start, and where does this prohibition on the 
 use of audio to protect property start/stop?  Perhaps 
 car horns should be linked to a set of electrodes 
 implanted in people from birth so that car horns won't 
 be necessary?  Imagine,  you press on the car horn and 
 a radio signal jolts people out of your path? 
  
    Please,  you guys get elected, find you have nothing 
 to do so you go out looking for something to crusade 
 against!   I've lived in this city when it was a whole 
 lot noisier and it was a whole lot better than it is 
 now!  It was much more fun!   Or did you hear about the 
 guy who just got arrested for not putting enough sun 
 screen on his child?  Some menace to society, huh? 
  
   I guess you think people have no social means of 
 suppressing ill conduct?  We need laws to tell us which 
 hand to wipe with?  Keep on...  we'll eventually get 
 there too!
