There oughta be a law!

Or at least a specific regulation in health care regulkations that denies hearing assistance to those who choose to destroy what they are given at birth.
I live right along a major thoroughfare, with lots of traffic. And at all times of the day and night:
BADABOOM! BADABOOM!
It's most definitely not music, and at the sound-pressure-levels being broadcast (yes, that's what they are doing - it's a public statement that's being made!) I am certain that long-term damage is being done to hearing to auditory capabilities. Fine.
But don't come to our health-care system in 20 years and expect any sympathy. Or financial help. I have two friends (professional musicians both) who have hearing loss from performing who can explain it to them. In person. Very loudly, I presume.

Seven Emotions? or Four?

I often find correlations interesting, esoecially when they occur in totally unrelated situaions/places.
And this one, lately, intrigues me:
The Seven emotions for a Samurai to overcome are:
Hate, Adoration, Joy, Anxiety, Anger, Grief, Fear.
And I knew a therapist a few years ago who said there are only Four:
Mad, Sad, Glad, Scared.

Interesting correlation, what?
