• There's no sound of silence

  EARLY October as I write this, and already the fireworks have started. I wonder why some folk are fascinated by bangs, and are willing to spend money in order to hear them. Would the shooting fraternity be as keen on their 'hobby' if their guns didn't go 'bang', I wonder? I have a feeling it would lose some of its attraction.

Singers, also so-called, must have microphones close to their mouth, so that the voice can be amplified a thousand times. Car radios must now deafen not only the occupants of the car, but anyone within 50 yards or more. Even youth in the streets don't talk to each other as they walk along - they actually shout. read more
