Seattle Residents Rise Up Against Trash Police
IBD ^ | July 24 2015 | Kerry Jackson

Posted on 07/24/2015 9:51:59 PM PDT by WilliamIII

t's been said one man's trash is another man's treasure, but in Seattle, everyone's trash is the business of government. Not that it should be that way. But that's the law in Seattle: Food scraps have to be separated from other garbage and recycling material, and compostable paper cannot be conveniently tossed out with the rest of trash.

We've mentioned before here , here and here how asinine and borderline tyrannical this law is. But while we've merely made comment, some folks have taken action. They're suing the city for invasion of privacy.

Instead of filing a lawsuit, there must be a more diabolical clever way of making these bureaucrats go crazy. Surely there is a way to overload the system, so that they can’t handle it.

To be excluded, because they voted for this. It's an outrage that they
should suffer at their own will.

This has become the norm, in the name of conservation. There are people who make their trash as disgusting as possible and remove everything they can which identifies whose trash it is.

No problemo. Liberals are so craven there is no end to what they will make you do to absolutely no productive purpose. Here in Santa Cruz, people were recycling more material than they could sell. What to do? They still require that we wash the recyclables, which the company then dutifully picks up in the bin and tosses it in with the rest of the garbage! The process consumes more water, time, electricity, and labor, but they don't care. The goal is to control what they can make you do.

How about thousands of residents hauling a load of trash and dumping it in front of city hall?

Where better to take on the beast and undermine its philosophical rationale? You can learn about the project here.

What is happening here is what is happening everywhere. The “activists” of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s who have been running government for more than a decade are getting old, heading for retirement homes, or dying off. Their hysterical desire to get ALL of their “Summer of Love” causes (racial “injustice,” pot legalization, “saving” the environment, gay rights, etc.) codified into law before the more conservative Reagan-era kids take power has roiled this country to the point that common sense people are simply saying “ENOUGH!”

I’m very hesitant to click a site. So, perhaps you could tell me, the deal. Thanks.
