California’s Biggest Cities Confront a ‘Defecation Crisis’
Wall Street Journal ^ | August 16, 2019 | Charles Kesler

n California at least, one is struck by the contrast between the fastidious attention paid to the social duty of scooping up and disposing of dog feces, and the rather more paralyzed and guilty reaction to the plague of human feces. The former is treated as a moral imperative among the enlightened—and the thin plastic bags used as the means to this moral end have so far escaped the fate of plastic straws, well on their way to being outlawed as an environmental outrage. Even social-justice warriors don’t consider it their personal duty, however, to tidy up after their fellow human beings on the streets.

This guy nails it. Well worth the time to read. The hypocrisy he points out is spot on, as well as his reasoning. Refreshing article on a disgusting topic.

PROgress is moving AHEAD
CONgress is moving BEHIND

In ‘my day’, dogs ran free and did their ‘business’ while most people did their ‘business’ indoors.

TODAY

Dogs are licensed & WALKED with the owner or guardian responsible for cleaning up after the animal.

People drop trou and soil the streets and carry on like they had good sense and the masses blame everyone BUT the guy dropping trou...

BIZARRO world...

MAYBE we can get the Libs to pass laws forcing the DOGS to clean up after the humans...

It does sort of fit their ‘game plan’....

So if you feed your dog people-food, does that mean you don’t have to clean up after him?

No more plastic bags for dog poop. No paper bags either. They need to scoop it up in their hands and compost it in their backyard, or their living room if they don’t have a backyard.

Dr. Drew on LI show said imagine a city of 30K dumping raw sewage into the waterways and that’s the homeless problem in Cali in a nutshell.

Interesting point. Do they realize that by allowing, possibly even encouraging this kind of behavior they are causing an environmental problem? All that raw, untreated human waste (liquid and solid) eventually gets washed through storm drains and out into the environment.

I dunno, my first reaction to this whole article was it has to be fake news. After all, thanks to libtards there's not much left in CA that's worth a s***.

AND ‘they’ want to take your Air Conditioning away so you HAVE to open your windows to ‘smell the roses...well...’

Seinfeld had the Bizarro world but one of his routines was if the Martians land and observe a dog taking a dump and the human cleaning it up, the Martians will feel they had some bad intel over ‘who was in CHARGE’..

"California’s Biggest Cities Confront a ‘Defecation Crisis’"

Just to clarify, is the title referring to the number of Demonicrats excreted into elected and appointed government positions in Commiepornia's biggest cities?!?
