>>Why have the government “picking up after you” ... :-)
Ah.. exactomundo Star Traveler... you beat me to it...
"Pack it in, Pack it out" some folks were taught to do that... long before the Colorado Springs City Council put it on a sign.
Which begs the question, WHY were some folks NOT taught to do that; and taught instead that they should rely upon government employees to pick up after them and do what good Americans should have been doing in the first place? Hmmmm...
