Tuesday, January 21, 2003LEFTOVERSCourtesy of Belligerent Bunny Blog. This is a collection of the leftovers from the anti-war march. Apparently the Washington Mall was trashed pretty badly by theses eco-freakniks. Others are pointing out the failure of the "practice what you preach" principle here. What springs to my mind is an interview I once saw by Jesse Jackson with Chris Rock. Rock grew up in a poorer neighborhood, and ol' Jesse asked one of his two thousand word questions that basicly laid the problems of Chris Rock's neighborhood at the door of the white establishment, the drugs, unemployment, and the general mess. At that point, Rock objected. His point was that, though his family was poor, they could pick up their front yard. He very clearly stated that nothing about being poor kept you from picking up your yard. Jesse looked very unhappy and changed the subject. He's right. And to apply the principle even further, if you can bend over, you can pick up trash. Don't make it, and be a good citizen and pick up after others. Hey, if we all put our shopping carts into the rack in the parking lot, and put one more in on our way into or out of the store... I'm not saying to bust your butt on this sort of thing. But, why not do just a little to help make our place, you know, Earth, a little nicer? So, put your mess where it belongs. It's not that tough. -- posted by Chuck at Tuesday, January 21, 2003 | E-mail | Permalink | Main | 0 comments
