Litter on that scale is a visible symbol of government failure. 

And a severe health hazard.

It's interesting, on a personal level, to note how much that attitude has changed since the 1970's. I remember people basically littering left and right back than especially out car windows.

Yay government imposed fines have worked! :swiss:

I don't litter. I try not to hassle people who do, and occasionally even clean up after them.... I will sneer, and if caught sneering, will get into it with said litterer/asshole.
:p

I tend to think one of the reasons I've turned off on a career in law enforcement, is that whenever I saw someone dump a cigarette butt out at a stoplight/highway offramp, I'd want to pull them over and go at them Rodney King-style.

It's really too bad you can't do that. You have to turn a bit of a blind eye and hope that kharma will supply a banana peel (littered obviously) for them to slip on at some point.

I think the crying Indian gets as much credit :P


Examining my habits more closely, I do 'litter' some things: gum (though I try not to drop it where someone would step), cigar butts (not really littering since I keep the label-- the rest is just natural leaf), and food (something'll eat it).

As late as the mid-80s, I remember commonly seeing people roll down their window & throw a whole McDonald's bag to the side of the road while driving at full speed.  Almost never see that these days.

I don't litter at all and get rather annoyed at driving behind smokers who ditch their cigarette butts out of the window rather than into their car's ashtray.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Flicking the odd cigarette butt out the window is really my last real vice that imposes on the General Public...

To be fair, in New York, simply making eye contact would be grounds for somebody to say "I'll fuck him up."

Not in Chelsea...although it isn't as friendly as Castro where making eye contact is grounds for somebody to say "I'll fuck you."

My God, I knew I've been living in the wrong place.

Anyway, I don't really litter at all anymore per se.  I throw minor shit on school grounds, knowing I've paid already to have someone else clean it up.  I'll throw cigarette butts out the window, slyly, if it's absolutely necessary.

Trouble is, I am not like the landlord at all

Admissions of homosexuality often come in strange ways.

Chelsea and Castro are the gay districts of their cities.
