guaranteed the right to sleep free of noise, light or smell pollution.

Aybody here ever gotten used to sleep in the city?
Sirens.
Jet takeoffs.
Partying neighbors.
You DO get used to it.
And then you move to the country.
The ABSENCE of noise will keep you awake for a while.
But you get used to that too.
Reminds me of the idiots who moved to a cheap house near the airport and then complain about the jet noise.
Except the townsfolk here aren't the ones complaining.
It's the new world order.

CORRECTION: it IS the townsfolk doing at least SOME of the complaining.
But the fear of the new world order is there, as well.
