    Years ago I used to say that the day would come 
    when capitalists would find a way to charge us for
    the very air we breathe.   I actually didn't believe what
    I was saying in a literal sense.  It was just rhetoric.

    Now, the environment has been so badly polluted with
    noise that some of us are ready to pay for quiet air.
