Ms. White says that she will continue to fight the fines and keep throwing away her cat litter in the trash.

Good for her

[Texas Fossil]

This is not about what is logical or reasonable.

This is about "subjection", the nanny state cannot possibly tolerate any shred of "resistance" or "defiance".

"Rebellion to Tyrants is obedience to God"

Reverse side of the First Committee U.S. seal proposal.

The first committee consisted of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams.

Franklin chose an allegorical scene from Exodus, described in his notes as "Moses standing on the Shore, and extending his Hand over the Sea, thereby causing the same to overwhelm Pharaoh who is sitting in an open Chariot, a Crown on his Head and a Sword in his Hand. Rays from a Pillar of Fire in the Clouds reaching to Moses, to express that he acts by Command of the Deity." Motto, "Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God."

She knows nothing about recycling. She’s doing it half way.

This young lady CAN recycle the cat littered newspapers even further. She could probably rinse off the newspapers with the water she uses to wash her dishes or do her laundry. Then she can start a worm farm. Those worms love shredded newspapers and as a reward they provide the owner with lovely soil for her potted plants.

She can take the used shredded newspapers, boil it and then make starter pots for seedlings. Use the soil the worms created from the previously used newspaper.

She can take the used shredded newspaper, dump it on a layer of newspapers, roll it and tie it with a string. She can place this ‘log’ in the newspaper recycle bin. Poop and all.

Heck. She could just flush the used newspapers down the toilet. Carefully.

She’s not smart enough to recycle 100%.
She’s better off paying the $2K fine.

I am astounded at the clever detective work and untold law enforcement assets that were used in the apprehension of this dangerous criminal.

No wonder DC is so safe.

“Ms. White says that she will continue to fight the fines and keep throwing away her cat litter in the trash.”

She needs to pour a mixture of ammonia and Clorox together into the kitty litter as she throws it out. As the fat nose inspector opens that package, he will be overtaken by the poisonous fumes and no doubt pass out.

"...she wanted to help the environment by shredding old newspapers and junk mail instead of buying cat litter from stores. Unfortunately for her, it is illegal to not recycle in DC, and she has incurred the Department of Public Works' wrath."

And yet, it has probably still not dawned upon her that this is not at all about the environment, but about control.

Since she seems to be in the spirit of recycling she should start a compost heap and use the newspaper/litter there.

[Publius6961]

D.C. resident Patricia White has received 8 fines, totaling $2000 for not recycling old newspapers which she uses as cat litter.

Eight times?

Stupid question.
Why doesn't she simply put her used kitty litter in the recycle bin?
Problem solved.

[Danae]

Ummmm... REALLY?

1) she IS recycling the newspapers. As kitty Litter.
2) once the newspaper is contaminated with chemicals, isn’t it prohibited to send it to a recycler? Uric Acid, ammonia? Wouldn’t she get fined for sending to a recycler?

This is complete stupidity.
