I’m still trying to figure out why so many people think they have a right to not have to hear other people’s music when they are in a public parking lot.

I’m guessing most of these people think it is OK for them to play music in their car; they would probably also say they never play it too loud, and that nobody would ever dislike it anyway.

So I see two problems — first, their insistence that other people’s freedom doesn’t include the freedom to play loud music in a public parking lot in their own car, and second, their insistence that the penalty for doing so should be death.

Have you ever pulled up to a gas station and the car next to you has the radio booming away?

And you’re saying they have a right to crank up the music as loud as they want?

Do you REALLY have to have the concept of "disturbing the peace" explained to you, or are you just comfortable with your rationalization for public/civic passivity?
