    Re: Flotilla Concert for Oil Rig Protesters
    The surrounding neighborhood has just about had enough. The sound apparently carries too well on the water and we have no place to go in our homes to get away from it. Some of it is truly awful. Please, please, have a heart and think about your neighbors before blasting this noise all over. If you want sympathy for your cause you need to be more considerate.

Sorry, comment time is over.
