San Francisco proposes “Garbage Police.” Am I psychic or what?
August 1, 2008 | Tagged Culture War, Obama, recycling police, San Francisco |
On 07-21-08, I projected in a post entitled, “Obama’s “service” speech: Gestapo, Red Guards, or something else?” that Left-wing oriented youth service corps members could very well become Red Guard-type garbage inspectors enforcing strict recycling trash sorting laws. (Categories: Culture War, Elections-on this site)
The San Francisco Department of the Environment didn’t even wait for the November Election to demonstrate how life imitates art. Under a proposed law, trash collectors are going to inspect garbage before throwing it in the truck. If you (gasp!) don’t put your recyclable materials into the right containers, you will be warned. You could also draw a fine. “Big Brother is watching.” & “Ve haf vays of dealing mit people like you!”
If you offend three times, you could be fined up to $1,000. This is yet another example of Left-wing bureaucrats who really don’t think that “common” citizens have the sense of a cucumber.
Imagine what could happen if they found a gun cleaning patch in your plastic bottle bin! Worse! It could have powder solvent on it, which would no doubt make you guilty of a Haz Mat offense. Call the SWAT Team!
“We believe mandantory recycling can get us to the next level,” a city spokesperson is reported to have said. Would that be the Brave New World Level, The 1984 Level, the Brazil, The Movie level, or the It can’t happen here! level?
OK! Maybe I’m not psychic. Mayor Newsom apparently did announce in April that he planned to begin “issuing fines to encourage recycling.” (Emphasis mine.) I don’t remember hearing anything about it, but it could have crept into my unconscious.
I can’t help thinking of Voltaire’s quote about the English occasionally shooting an admiral “pour encourager les autres.” For anyone unfortunate enough not to read French, as Barack Hussein Obama would no doubt say, that means, “to encourage the others.” By the way, do you feel bitter and clingy? I’m not bitter today, but I do feel a bit clingy. Must be the heat.
I couldn’t make this stuff up, if I tried. Well, maybe I could. I’m working on a novel that I plan to inflict upon you, if I can get the insurance problems worked out.
If you’re trapped in The City By The Bay, watch your garbage and for gosh sakes, don’t throw away anything incriminating. Drug paraphernalia and evidence that you are an illegal alien are probably all right. Do not! I repeat, do not, throw away anything that might identify you as a gun owner. “Ve haf vays of dealing mit people like you!”
Vote Republican or lose your rights!
