Immigrants Know How To Litter, and Have Smart Phones Too

Immigrants also arrive fully informed of their rights to be free from discrimination too. It seems as if there are those charming, thoughtful public spirited lawyers who travel to Guantanamo and elsewhere preparing immigrants to know their rights. But poor white Americans, persons with disabilities remain free from any exercising of their basic rights and from access to attorneys. It just makes your heart grow warm. Ahem!



[From article]
On my walk to the park this morning, I came upon a huge mess on and around two picnic tables: paper, food, cans, bottles, and (the worst) a broken whisky bottle on the concrete beneath a table. Not just a few pieces, but a million pieces. Shattered.
Something glittered amid the trash: a new Apple iPhone. I brought it home, turned it on, and waited. A few hours later, it rang. A woman said that it was her little brother's phone, and she wanted it back.
I: "Yes, I have no problem with that, but first he needs to go to the park with a dust pan and broom, sweep up the glass, and pick up all the trash."
She: "I don't know where he is. His phone is on my account, so it's my property."
[. . .]
Since the woman had an unusual name, I looked her upon Facebook. She's from Khartoum, Sudan. A refugee? Christian or Muslim? With friends named Ali, Mohamed, Hassan, and Ibrahim, I'm just guessing she's not Christian. But I could be wrong.
Curious, isn't it, how soon they learn to assert their property rights, but cleaning up a mess is someone else's problem? In Sudan, the way to dispose of trash is to pitch it out the window. If you're feeling extra energetic, you loft the bag into someone else's yard. Or am I thinking of some other country?
These are the people who come here as "an act of love" (Jeb Bush), who will revitalize the German workforce and offset Germans' low birth rate (Angela Merkel).

Meditation on a lost iPhone

Misguided Liberals Want More Unenforced Laws

Dr. Epstein says, "I pick up the discarded bottles and cans that mar this urban experience and are a jarring note in an otherwise pleasing and stimulating setting. [. . .] I’ve managed to pick up more than 1,500 bottles in the last three years of walking around Cambridge. This is a rather distressing commentary on our littering society."

Is he speaking officially for the Charles River Conservancy, as a physician, or both? Wanting to extend the "bottle bill" to all containers he admits only 20 percent of bottles are now recycled. Another law would lower the percentage recycled. In Cambridge relaxed rectitude is acceptable and encouraged. If littering laws are unenforced what good is another law? Instead of raising awareness of the littering problem, this caring professional wants another law which will not solve the problem. Obama wants to give everybody everything. Obama refuses to address the base actions of politicians and their enablers, the corrupt members of the nation who exploit laws at the expense of the taxpayer and the law abiding citizens. This is one more example of that.
