This little blurb was found on page 7 of the throwaway Metro paper. It seems to me that this is a much larger issue than John McCain paying for pizza and tipping big on the front page.Further information on this atrocity can be found at this location as was noted on our first post on the 7th. The obvious implication is that we can clean up after ourselves or we can wade through our crap on a daily basis.
I once heard a comedian (who it was I cannot remember at the moment) talk about how he was not able to think about what was inside his own body; the idea of considering blood and organs and the cycling of food to waste was simply too much for him to bear. His solution was to simply imagine that his insides were composed of nothing but white light. As noted in the article that I've posted here it used to be that the garbage that formerly ended up in this vortex would decompose (so its been going on for a long time that we've not been informed about), but now since there's so much plastic - 403 billion pounds - it just swirls around and around endlessly. Endlessly! This is not white light. This is where litter goes when we pretend that it's not there.
