There will be a point to this story that relates to this thread, so please stick with me.
When I first moved to Hawaii, I lived in a house with three other people. One of them got up every morning at 5:45, carried his portable radio into the all tile bathroom, and turned up the volume loud enough so he didn't miss a word of the NPR broadcast as the shower ran full bore. Needless to say, no one else in the house missed a word of the broadcast either.
We asked him to reduce the volume enough so it wouldn't wake everyone else every morning. We also pointed out that this just seemed like common courtesy. I'll never forget his reply, "I do whatever I want until someone tells me to stop."
And if that was true, the problem would have been solved. The reality was, he didn't stop, because he didn't really care about the rest of his housemates. He demanded his complete freedom to do whatever he wanted, at the cost of everyone else's freedom.
A home can't function under those conditions. Neither can Punaweb.
