“The world grows increasingly noisy,” Boyd K. Packer observed: “Raucous Music, with obscene lyrics, blasted through amplifiers while lights flash psychedelic colors, characterizes the drug culture. Variations of these things are gaining wide acceptance over our youth. . . . trend to more noise, more excitement, more contention, less restraint, less dignity, less formality is not coincidental nor innocent nor harmless. The first order issued by a commander mounting a military invasion is the jamming of channels of communication of those he intends to conquer. . . . No one of us can survive in the world today, much less in what it soon will become, without personal inspiration. ~Boyd K. Packer, ‘Reverence Invites Revelation,’ Ensign , November 1991, 22-23
