Letter to the Editor

Slobs spoil our area's lakes, streams

Wednesday, October 7, 2009

Dear editor:

To the "great outdoor" persons:

You slobs! This letter of protest is directed to you ­-- the ones who left a trail of fishing line, plastic worm containers, fish egg jars, beer cans, pop cans and bottles along with wine bottles, fish hook wrappers, potato chip bags, cigarette butts, matches, Styrofoam cups and plates, stoves, mattresses, clothes, batteries, tires and even disposable diapers.

Do you think the streams, rivers, brooks, lakes and ocean beaches or the cities and their streets, parks and empty lots are your personal garbage landfills? Many miles have I walked this great land, and the lack of reverence for it is unacceptable. Do you have a conscious, or it your mentality too shallow?

You inconsiderate slobs! Not even enough consideration to bury those golden brown turds you left basting in the hot sun to stench the next visitor. Is it really so hard to dig a small hole and bury your "state of mind?"

Come on, folks. Wake up! Our Earth needs attention. It's really inconsiderate of you to leave the planet this way. Some people prefer to go barefoot, too. But you've seen to it they won't since you prefer to break every bottle you see.

I could go on and on, but I really believe you don't give a darn. I know I'm not alone on this beautiful planet, so why don't you just stay home and little your own back yard?

James Loris
