Freedom and laundry

As many people like to say the U.S. is a free country. Granted, most of them don't have the first clue on what that freedom implies and are incapable of separating it from material objects. This is beside the scope of tonight's rant tough. I simply wish the neighbor upstairs would realize that her/his/it freedom of doing laundry stops at about 8 p.m. I seriously don't need to hear her/his/it wash-machine spin-drying half-way through the night. I hope you all appreciated how touchy-feely I was on that one. Sur ce, bonne nuit!
