Editor,

I agree with the letter from Don Grove. I was born and raised on the island and have since moved away. I grew up with the sound of freedom and 90 percent of the time the noise didn’t bother me.

But, like Mr. Grove says, the Navy has been on the island way before most of the citizens have lived there. But this type of thing is typical for a lot of people that like to complain.

Where I live now, there are a lot of dusty unpaved roads. What happens? Someone drives up that dusty unpaved road, finds a piece of property that they just can’t live without and builds their home close to the dusty unpaved road and then complains about the dust.

What?

That dust was always there. How can you complain about it now?

People who complain about things like this need to find a pristine concrete encrusted, no-noise piece of heaven somewhere in Siberia or near the North Pole away from the rest of the normal world.

No wait, they would complain about the cold, the white snow and no sun.

For crying out loud people, get a grip.
