You'd think the city could just enforce the littering laws that are already on the books, but passing new laws is apparently just that much more fun.

We're going to have to work hard to break them of that habit.

I don't think it's so simple. If these people just had the usual petty tyrant aspirations that say progress is more laws, they could have come up with a harsher littering law to not bother to enforce. That would have at least made a little bit of sense.

But instead, they fight litter by banning... smoking. This makes all the sense of fighting violent criminals by taking away your hunting rifle, or fighting couch potatos with a tax on Big Macs, or fighting vandalism by banning paint, or.. well, just about everything else these people legislate.

The problem is these people don't recognize a difference between good and evil, and figure all people are equal, so if someone does a bad deed the fault must lie in the item they did it with. This hasn't work yet, but it may eventually.

Uh oh, I'm showing critical and judgemental thinking. How unfair. It must have come from a decent two parent upbringing. We ought to ban those.
