Trash those who throw trash

Well, spring has finally arrived. Baseballs are in the air, birds are looking for mates, and the trash people are decorating our roads with their refuse.

Beer cans, pop cans, coffee cups, plastic bags, plastic water bottles, the list goes on and on, and all this stuff has a half life of forever. The people who do this (male or female) seem to have the emotional responsibility of a 3 year old — that is me, me, me — self-centered and completely oblivious to anyone but themselves. They are either too lazy to dispose of their trash properly, or too cheap to carry a garbage bag.

 If you are in a relationship with someone who does this, be prepared for disappointment, because the selfish person ends up hurting those around him (or her) eventually. If you are married to one of those, my condolences, because unless they change, problems lie ahead.
