Are You Proud To Be An American?

I hear a lot of people around here blurt out that they are proud to be Americans. That is all ok with me. I consider myself more of a global citizen. What surprises me is how many of the proud Americans treat their country, that they also say is the greatest on earth, like it is their personal trash can. To be proud of something also means caring for it. Right? All the trash around here is astonishing. Being a proud American is more than singing along to a country song or watching some football while drinking Budweiser and complaining about Obama. Don't trash the land that you claim you are so proud of. I can't stand people that litter. If you are an adult living in a modern country (like the US) which facilitates with various forms of garbage collections then you have no valid excuse. Shame on lazy trashy people like that. I tell people all the time not to litter when they are in my company (if they do). If you think that it makes me a bitch.....oh well, I couldn't care less and don't bother with my company and guess what, I don't like you either because you are a selfish lazy idiot that trashes the planet I live on and share with others. And trashing includes throwing cigarette butts, yes I know many do not think so.....well really they do know better but they don't care. Gross!



So yesterday I did some self appointed community service. No monetary pay involved.
The payment comes in the satisfaction of knowing that I did something good. This is what I found and gathered. It didn't take long at all and it was easy. I still have a couple of more places to de litter.





What if an animal would get tangled up in any of that or get cut on a broken glass bottle?
So yeah, if I.....a super self involved good for nothing stripper (ha ha feel the irony) can do something good then everybody in the US can. At least take your trash to the nearest trash can. Do you think you can do that? I am not going to pontificate much longer, so calm down.
I do not claim to be a saint and have never claimed to be such a thing, ever (in case you wonder or erroneously say that about me.) I have made mistakes and broken the law, more than once. Each of us lives life to their own set of morals. But when I do something bad, it involves me only, others do not have to suffer for it. And if you want even more evidence of what random trash does to this still beautiful planet, watch THIS
Even if you don't litter, watch it and think. Maybe it will make you feel, open your eyes and realize that being selfish and lazy is not the right way to be.
