BERLIN - Children of Germany take heart — it may soon be
perfectly legal to make noise.
Germany is so desperate to encourage people to have more children that the
government is proposing a bill allowing citizens under six to laugh, shout
and play at any volume.
Germany is a land of many rules, especially about noise. The government's
move comes after a series of lawsuits about children and noise, and a recent
call from a senior citizens' chapter of Chancellor Angela Merkel's
conservatives, who sought to ban kindergartens from residential areas
because they are too loud.
