"That's the sound of freedom"

I have heard this drivel my whole life. I live by an Air Force base and the jets will do touch and goes for hours and fly over my house. There used to be a noise ordinance in place, but with the newer jets it’s pointless.

I inherited my parent’s home, but it was in the flight path so I sold it. I grew up with jets flying over the house every evening coming in from the west desert. Just as the 2 hour movie was ending I’d miss it because of the noise.

But people always say "That's the sound of freedom"

No it’s a waste of money. 1 hour flying takes as much fuel that families use all month.

Yeah, this is a rant.
