Occupy L.A. leaves 30 tons of trash behind

[wutitiz]

I imagine that part of the explanation is that these were druggies. They constantly steal stuff and sort thru it for what they can turn into cash or use--the rest becomes trash. Often it might be perfectly serviceable, even brand new with price tag still attached. No matter, the druggie will throw it away.

Nothing produces as much trash per person as a drug house. I've seen it with my own eyes.

Well, we measure the success of Mardi Gras
by the volume of trash picked up, so mebbie
they're just tryin' to make their mark.

OWS on the other hand, wallowed in filth, human waste and stench.

The predecessors to the OWS, the American Communist Party, Communist Labor Party, the Socialist parties of the late 1910's in our country, and the Wall Street hating Populists of the 1890's, whenever they met, it was probably one stinky get together as many homes, back then, didn't even have showers, bathtubs, or running water, underarm deorderant or even toothbrushes with toothpaste!

Imagine yourself back then, as to now!
