Trash on the Roadside, Trash in the Ditch

Trash on the roadside, trash in the ditch… Yeah it is a parady of an old song, but one that fits in our time. Never before in the history of our country have the streets, roadways, highways, and bi-ways been in such abysmal state as they are in today. It seems sweeper hire businesses are doing a good trade these days with all the mess on the roads. America used to take PRIDE in the way it presented itself, used to take pride in it's country, used to take pride in it's farmland. No longer. Now if you tired of it as you drive… It's very simple, roll down your window and toss it. Beer bottles. Fast food bags and wrappers. Household garbage. It's all common place to see on the side of the roads now. I have even seen complete living room sets, tv's, refrigeraters, freezers, etc. dumped on the sides of the roads. Not because we have a shortage of room in the land fills, no there are still dumps and landfills open all over the place, the simple reason is that America has gotten lazy. We are used to everybody picking up after us. We as a country are better than that. Don't be a part of the problem. If you have garbage, put it in a garbage can.
