[at bay]

I honestly think the butt-strewing habit is a cry for help "Stop me before I kill (myself). Folks are sick and tired of every nice beach being used as a giant ash tray. The chimney people's lack of aesthetic consideration (not really minding their own business as they would have you believe but littering non-stop) came back to bite'em.

at bay, have you ever been penalized for anothers faults?

Not even as a kid in school?

Amen. I had a few hours on a California beach a decade ago and swore I'd never go back. The volume of cigarette butts (and pop tops, and beer bottle caps) was higher than the volume of sand. Enforce the littering laws? How many cops would it take, full time?

This will boost tourism, once the fires are out. I bet there are a lot of us who swore we weren't going back because of the butt problem.

I'm more sick and tired of seeing enormous amounts of trash along the major highways which also include full garbage bags. If I were you, I would spend all of my time trying to incrementally clean up my state by first focusing on your freeways, then your major surface streets and then last of all your neighborhoods. Once that is accomplished, then focus on your beaches.

But what the hell, smokers are now the modern day Jews so that makes us fair game to you nico-nazis........

I find it very ironic that us smokers have now surpassed the street corner whore/crack addict, coke dealer, and pedophile in terms of demonization. One can just imagine what social changes you nazi's could accomplish if you had your priorities straight........

They wouldn't get away with this in Iran.
