Trash

When I was in Italy, with the exception of The Napoli Trash Wars, it was fairly clean. It has struck me upon my return home that everyplace is subject to trash here. People regularly trash the beaches, hiking trails will have soda and beer cans, bar wrappers, streets. It is everywhere.

This was brought about by a single piece of white trash on the freeway heading out to Bonnie's this morning. It is part of the American psyche, nothing is our fault and we are responsible for nothing. In Italy I saw people cleaning "their space", taking pride in what they presented to the world. I am not saying that everything was pristine but it was a whole lot more pleasant.
