I quite  honestly doubt that the guy who invented earplugs was thinking 
about same  guy walking in the woods not wanting to hear a chainsaw 
running. 


In his conscious mind you are probably correct but in the great  subconscious 
or perhaps the unconscious he invented the product for all to  utilize.  We 
who use ear stoppers do not give a fig about why they were  invented but only 
that they work.  When noise abounds so then ear plugs  will be used with 
satisfaction.  Of course, everyone realizes that if there  is a fire in the shelter 
those who use ear things will not be able to hear the  alarm sounded by the 
horde that started it or found it ablaze.  But then  the user of the noise 
stopper will get a good rest most of the time.  The  other problem with using ear 
blockers is that when a Rattler rattles the sound  will not be heeded as a 
warning and pain could ensue should one be bitten.   Oh, the choices we have and 
the dilemmas that we encounter on the trail.   Who knew that freedom could be 
so difficult?  Did you?
