What's the Tipping Point?
Last week, cleaning up the day after David Ossman's Birthday party, I said I'd pick through the garbage bag and take the FORKS home and run 'em through the dish-washer. JB went off... why should we... it's futile...we're going to suffocate beneath people who run their SUV's in first gear so the kids can watch *MOVIES*
We recycle obsessovely, but can't keep up. There's too much glass. I get 2 newspapers, so I feel bad about the pulp. But the On-line, doesn't cut it yet.
Since the disposal system for the Broderick Building is a "No Dumpster" in the Alley and the sacks haven't been taken out yet, I can go still go fish out them forks outta the sack. and they'll be fine after going through the dish-washer!
But, finally, what's the point? What tipped you over? What made you crazy? What made you yell back at the TV? the Radio?
Or, should ya just go wash the Freakin' Forks?

Honey, sometimes, you have to give yourself a break.
I'm the only person in my entire extended family who recycles plastic, newspaper, AND aluminum (as in, I'm the only one who recycles ANYTHING) --- imagine how much shit that those idjits are dumping into the landfills. Can I *possibly* make up for all of their stupidity/laziness/selfishness/etc.?
Probably not.
We do these things because they make US feel better, even though, in the back of our heads, we know that there are too many selfish igno-cunts out there for each one of US to counteract.
It's a bleak reality, but until the Revolution finally comes, it's the reality that we've got.
Don't let it kill your hope, just don't let it kill you, period.
And next time that you throw a party, SET OUT RECYCLING BINS for the fucking DISPOSABLE FORKS!!!
Y'ain't no sprang chicken, dolly --- no reason for YOU to have to dig through the garbage, dammit!
Take it easy on yourself for once, wouldja? And be proud of yourself for all that you have done and continue to do, along with raising one highly-conscious kid who will pass the word & hope on to a helluva lot more people.
