Disposable Duality
Something about joining FB ruined the appetite to write here. Don't know what it is, but check the date and time, almost down to the hour, and you will find the correlation.
By the time you read this, a promise will have been fulfilled: release this now, don't keep writing and sitting on what you write. Release it, NAKED.
So, enough of that. Something to chew on:
A disposable society must eventually deal with the duality of said disposable items- their harm, and their benefit.
Take, for instance, the ubiquitous nature of the grocery bag. These days, it's not unusual to find grocery people with their own bags. Their message? "I'm not going to take advantage of the disposable option at this place."
Not bad, cliff blog commends you.
However, these perpetual bags lack certain value(s), and in that you find yourself in the duality again.
Let's say the grillbilly fires it up, and keeps a disposable, Kroghetto bag nearby for the trash. The bag was reused, but wound up in the landfill anyway. Does perpetual bagman or perpetual bagwoman have this option?
Perpetual bagman and perpetual bagwoman have to bring the trash can close to the grill. Does that present a fire hazard?
That tangent aside, the fact is, that in order to use less, one has to work more. Do YOU think your countrymen are working more these days? It would appear that the perception of, "I'm affluent too" has spun out of control and, as a result, not many are willing to take on even the most ephemeral responsibility.
Goodbye July 2K9, it was nice living in your beautiful grace- BIG FAN.
