The mellow, "peace now," countercultural, environmentally conscious “420” celebration deposited 10,000 pounds of garbage on what is known as Hippie Hill in Golden Gate Park, leaving volunteers and park workers to clean up the mess.

The symbolism is striking.

Well, the only reason I go to SF is to dump my trash.

[This Just In]

Well, SF has a way of producing a lot of trash.

So each person some how produced 24 pounds of waste? (For the trolls). I did the math the old fashioned way. 10000/420=23.80, rounded up to 24.

You know, the world would be a better place if he’d sit on his pot and smoke his garage.

And yet the Tea Party rally a few years back left the national mall cleaner than when it started...

Trash Smokin Trash Leave Trash!

A bunch of people with the mentality of 10 year olds want to feel good about themselves and play and then have someone else clean up their mess. Hell, even a 10 year old knows to clean up after himself when he’s done playing.

I’m sure that for some it was closer to 250 lbs. of waste, give or take a few brownies and a head full of dreadlocks.

But.......but.......don’t they know it’s “Earth Week?”

[This Just In]

That speaks volumes as well.

[defconw]

Seems like that would have been a good time to ban junk food. :)

[This Just In]

Perhaps Earth Wreek?

Dave’s not here.

(Apparently he was at the park however)

LOL

[Veto!]

You know, the world would be a better place if he’d sit on his pot and smoke his garage.

LOL. But I think you mean garbage.

I remember attending a Christian rally on the grounds of the state capitol in Sacramento. As the rally ended, organizers went through the crowd encouraging people to pickup their trash. Of course, the attempt was public spirited but was also driven by self-interest. No one wanted the media to pounce of the fact that a Christian rally left the state capitol grounds littered with trash.
I wonder why 420 revelers aren't motivated by the same considerations?

[This Just In]

Dude, his garbage IS his garage.

:^D

I personally attended ‘events’ at this very spot back in the day . Be-In’s ....the folks NEVER left it looking like this.

It’s a different crowd these days , far less enlightened , far more materialistic and far less environmentally conscious . And yet the little pricks are so self righteous and full of themselves . Nothing new under the sun . These people are bums .
