When you gotta go you gotta go!
And visitors to Yosemite National Park have been going and going.
Yes, the partial government shutdown has limited trash collection and bathroom maintenance in the park, leading to visitors doing their business out in the open.
From the Sacramento Bee:
"With restrooms closed, some visitors are opting to deposit their waste in natural areas adjacent to high traffic areas, which creates a health hazard for other visitors,†National Parks Service spokesman Andrew Munoz told the publication in an email.
End excerpt.
Strange; the good people of California don't seem to mind human excrement in San Francisco, or bums urinating out in the open, but they get upset about people going in the bushes around campgrounds.
Overflowing toilets and illegal off-roading activities prompted the closure, the parks service said. Volunteers who had been trying to keep the park open simply can’t keep up, the publication reported.
"We can’t afford to wipe all the bottoms who visit Joshua Tree,†said Sabra Purdy, reported The Sun.
End excerpt.
Well, why not make a hand-written sign that says "out of toilet paper" and let people take care of their own buttocks?
Other parks around the country have been closed as well due to yellow rains. Of course, we are in the dead of winter, so how many does it really affect? Hey - maybe the homeless went on a field trip from their city by the bay?
I still wonder; if bears and other critters do it outdoors is it really such a terrible thing if a few campers do it? The stuff IS biodegradable, after all. (I know; it's still a health hazzard.)
Donald Trump is a party-pooper in more ways than one!
This illustrates the differences between liberals and conservatives. Liberals see freedom as doing what you please and hang the consequences. As a result, they treat people like children - and then people behave like children. Children don't pick up after themselves.
The differences are stark when comparing liberal and conservative events. Usually after some liberal protest or rally or whatnot there are mountains of trash, feces, used condoms, etc. Conservatives clean up afterward, and often you cannot tell there WAS a Tea Party rally or whatnot. Why? Liberals expect everything to be done for them; personal responsibility is not a liberal virtue. In fact, they WANT to leave a mess because it shows they were there.
I find it interesting that most of the places that have had problems with trash and human wastes are liberal places - Federal parks in California, Colorado, etc. These are where the tree-hugging hippies like to hang out. It certainly isn't families going there in December. So who is making the mess?
