Rom where I sit... Ay Joe Marsh Lucky to Have "Noisy Neighbors"

A recent news item about an Air Force base and the townspeople nearby illustrates a point I’ve made for some time. Most of the local people had the same complaint—the roar of jets was irritating —so a group of them petitioned the Air Force to move the base. Then the Air Force invited the petitioners to the base to show them how vital it was to their defense. The people soon decided jet noise was really a welcome sound —and all petitions were dropped.

From where I ait, jumping to conclusions—without knowing all sides of a question —is something people ought to avoid. It would make living together a lot easier. On little things, too—like your preference for tea or coffee and mine for beer. Understanding the other fellow’s point of view will make traveling a lot smoother in this “jet” age of ours.
