Boom Car Proponent On YouTube Fighting HB1178

11/2/2011

 

February, 2011 - If you're in the anti-noise corner you owe it to yourself to watch this video.  It's a rant by a Boom Car proponent who doesn't even reside in Hawai'i imploring other proponents to spread the word about HB1178 so that it can be defeated.
Looks like they won this round - for now.  And they had to do so very little to make Representative Marcus Oshiro (D - Wahiawa) cave - just whine a little bit in front of a camera.  Of course, let's not forget to give some credit to the other members of the Transportation Committee.
You'll notice that this video is "all about me" - my right to audio systems, my right to my hobby, my right to loud music, my freedoms.
Unbelievable.  Not a thought about its effect on others, except comments on the video by other Boom Car proponents using phrases like "you're just too old" (a common Boom Car proponent mantra).
There is no care for your right to not have to your space violated, your right to not have to listen to their music, your right to preserve your tranquility.  It's not that they don't know this impacts others - they simply don't care that it impacts others.
We must unite in influencing our legislators to move forward with laws that aggressively curtail the proliferation of these systems.
