You know what,  doggie doo is bio degradable,  as are most foods, so that doesn't bother me quite so much, but to just dump toxic waste out of your car, and you can't wait to get to an appropriate disposal, which by the way,  is usually very close by.  I take my dog to the park and it is absolutely atrocious how people in the children's playground area will just leave bottles,  plastic plates,  cups etc. when there is garbage can no more than 15 or 20 feet from them.  This is what we are teaching (or more appropriately,  not teaching)  our children,  tis very sad.  Respect is an attitude. It is a response to others that may be verbal and non-verbal. Respect is the attitude of admiration or esteem - to hold in esteem or consider well-regarded - towards others, oneself and one's possessions. A respectful child takes care of belongings and responsibilities, and a respectful child gets along with peers, parents and figures of authority.


I have been fortunate to have travelled a bit,  and I never saw this in other countries,  their streets are free of litter,  on the Audobahns of Germany I never remember seeing liter,  but what I do remember though,  is a little boy maybe 5 or 6 yrs old,  take a piece of gum out of his pocket,  walk over to the trash disposal,  probably 30 ft from him and put that wrapper in that disposal,  then come back to his mother's side and continue on their way.

Sadly America doesn't teach its youth anymore how to be courteous and respectful to their fellow man and it is overflowing into our streets,  oceans etc.  as well as their verbiage.

Your so right Willy,  but the point was,  the lack of respect people have for their fellowman and America.  Where has it gone?  And,  to your point that "it doesn't fucking matter",  it does Willy, because  metaphorically speaking,  for every hole plugged up in the barrel,  that is one less drop of water coming out,  and that Sir,  can make a difference.
