'It seemed to me,' said Wonko the Sane, 'that any civilization that had so far lost its head as to need to include a set of detailed instructions for use in a packet of toothpicks, was no longer a civilization in which I could live and stay sane.' |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 20889314 11/19/2012 09:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Seems to me it was not long ago I saw a documentary that showed NY fills barges with garbage and tows them out to sea and dumps them. Not sure if that is still the norm or not, but big cities are a major negative impact on our environment. Still the double standards always make me laugh. Cities with millions can pollute the hell out of everything and no problem. A farmers cow craps in the stream and government is all over them with fines and forcing them to build containment ponds at barns and building berms and fences all over the place to keep any runoff from snow melt and rainstorms into waterbodies. But they do nothing about farms growing crops that spray the hell out of everything with chemical fertilizers, round up and other weed killers and insect control chemicals. Take a look at the huge dead zones in the oceans of the world near the major urban coastal centres. The whole system is a crock. Beat the hell out of the little guy but leave the corporations alone and government just does what it wants........... and if they have to go against the rules then they just change the rules to work for them. |

Another thing completely out of your control after a disaster such as this but I am sure people are complaining about how things should be back to normal at the snap of a finger. |

In Mexico you can just take all that human sewage and fertilize your crops with it. The sewage plant pays you to take the sewage, and then you save a huge amount of cash on fertilizer. Fertilizer is so expensive now. That's why US farms can't compete with Mexican farms, not to mention they have no labor laws. Mexican farms are putting US farms out of business. In the US the EPA has to test the sewage and there are lots of restrictions for using it. |

Inner space, too. Gurgle space junk, if you don't believe it. It's coming back to bite us in the ass... big time. If Extra-terrestials ever do make contact publicly.. it will be to announce our designation.. as the local space dump facility. |

| Waterbug User ID: 1295673 11/19/2012 10:22 AM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Trash along the roads usually gets picked up.. Not the case along the waterways. I have walked the riverbanks in many areas of Tennessee. The lakes[impounds] here are man-made, formed by damming the rivers. The banks collect trash of all sorts. Styrofoam, plastic bottles..many, all kinds of trash. It doesn't look that bad, hard to see from a boat, gets covered with leaves and driftwood. But when you walk it, you can't take a step without hearing a plastic bottle crush. And I remember the first time I heard of water in plastic bottles being sold.. I thought.. who the hell is going to buy bottled water in a convenience store..? |
