EXERCISING YOUR 1ST AMENDMENT

[HairOfTheDog]

I volunteered for the Save the Sage foundation and when we did litter cleanup in the habitat the greenpeace assholes shot the shit while we did all the work, fuck all those hypocrites and you too if you fit that profile.

I don't respect litterers either. But, anytime you have massive crowds, there will be some clean-up required. It's not a partisan issue, Biggie, no matter how you try to paint it as such.

It doesn't matter if it's a large Tea Party gathering, a Women's March, a Civil Rights protest, an NRA rally...This is especially true when the gatherings are organic, without planned/dedicated event administration. There wasn't a single incident or arrest in last weekend's march across the country and the globe. There were reportedly more than a million participants and it was peaceful by all accounts. If there was some trash which could be picked up and no damage, that's a minor issue to me.

If you volunteer because you want kudos or to make a political point, then your motives are different than mine, but good on you for getting off your ass anyway.

I headed an organized annual beach clean-up from Huntington to Laguna for several years when I lived in Southern California. We did it because it was good for the environment, the sea life, and we wanted to do it. While that area is predominantly populated by Republicans, it never crossed my mind to position it as if Republicans are filthy litterers who needed Independents like me to clean up their messes. That would have been ignorant, presumptuous and self-aggrandizing.
