Okay, enough with the green movement already. After reading an article today in the Star about a movement known as freecycling, I am officially refusing to re-use, recycle or reconsider. The Freecyling trashy people in the star's article eat trash. You heard me right, they eat trash, and not because they are homeless, not because they are broke, although Im sure they aren't rolling in the dough, heh. No these chuckleheads are making a statement that we waste too much shit in general, and edible shit in particular.
Look, I was in the waste management/ recycling industry in it's infancy, in fact that's the business I went to prison over, so Im not completely in the dark over our current need to do shit for the environment, I get it, mmmmkay. What I don't get is how some doofus rooting through the garbage, is going to impact the environment in a positive manner. My grandmother used to get old produce from the super market in Marlow Oklahoma to feed to her chickens, that I get. My step father, a world class douche bag and first rate tight ass would stop and go through peoples shit at the curb. He had plenty of money, but he was a cheap bastard, so if there was something he could sell at a garage sale down the road, he would stop and pick it up before the trash man got it. That I get as well. What I cant fathom is why on earth anyone in their right mind would dig through a dumpster and eat something of questionable origin , if they had other options, like buying some fucking food.
To each his own, whatever floats your boat, trips your trigger, rings your bell, etc. Still, it begs the question, how does eating garbage help save the whales, protect the red woods, or the elusive spotted owl? How does it help save landfill space? Answer, It doesn't. Food decomposes into nothingness, pretty fast, so it's not like they are eating styrofoam . My point to all of this babbling is this. Ive never understood the overly zealous types that seem to always go to the extreme. Whether it be chaining yourself to a tree to keep it from being cut down, or chowing down on someones garbage, its too fucking much, regardless of how well intentioned the loony tune activist might be. In the end they just come off as crazy, and do more to hurt their cause than help it.
