Yesterday I had to drop off some refuse at DSWA’s Pine Tree Corner Transfer Station and the whole experience gave me a warm feeling about civilization and how nice it is to live in a civilized society.
As I paid my meager $8.00 for the drop off, I started to think about how I will one day bounce my grandchildren on my knee and they will marvel at my stories about life in America prior to the Tea Party takeover. My grandchildren will not know a world without discarded dryers and hot water heaters strew about the country side. When I tell them in that back in 2011 you very rarely saw tires and other garbage flung along the roadside I expect they will think I am lying or exaggerating.
When I say that even people who didn’t use the transfer stations paid a little bit of tax money because it made everyone’s life better, they will no doubt roll their eyes. Content in their knowledge that all such confiscatory tax schemes lead to indolence and moral decay.
