Default RE: Loss of fields

Tell you a not so funny story that ran in this weeks newspaper. We have a train that runs through our town as well as a commuter rail. We have had it for over 10 years now. As they pass through the center of town the fast train (amtrak acella) fires off the air horn prior to going across the grade crossing.
A gentlemen moved into town next to the train station last year, and has succeeded in finally getting the trains to stop blasting their horn as they go through. So he moves into the area, next to the train station that has been there for over ten years, and HE is complaining. What a case of NIMBY!!! How pathetic! He is/was a customer of mine and was in the shop the other day all proud of himself and asked me what I thought of what he did...Well I told him and he was shocked because my shop is even closer to the train station, and I asked him...so who is going to shut you up?! He was apauled and then I reminded him that th next guy with a complaint about something maybe he likes is now more apt to get his way.....

SAD SAD SAD state of affairs in this PC society.
