If the FCC actually cared, they would require the broadcasters to "normalize" the volume output.

Wow, you seem to have some difficulty with women... I suggest that you get to know one better, and perhaps you won't be wasting your life complaining about them... By the way, all women aren't the same. There are many who are easy to get along with, speak their mind, and mean it, and don't play games... I know, I'm married to one... (12 years this year, and I've known her for 25 years)
