Mentioned to my Dominican wife the new war on noise. "What noise" was her response. You know and I rattled off all the sources of noise pollution I could think of off the top of my head. Her response "thats normal". The Dominicans have become so used to the noise, dirt, death and general misery that its just normal and has always been that way. Nothing to get excited about. They just do not know any better. Never knew peace and quiet. I bought her a hammock.
