An associate of mine had been returning a young lady, with whom he had been enjoying dinner, to her home on K Street in Washington. For those of you familiar with K Street, you do not need to be told that it is very easy to spot unsavory characters milling about the area at any time of the day. If you are unfamiliar with K Street, consider yourself blessed.
This particular evening, just across from the apartment of my colleague's date for that evening, the couple spotted two transvestite prostitutes conversing on the sidewalk. Already somewhat disgusted, my friend escorted his friend up to her door, more as a protective measure than as the customary end to a date. Without being able to determine what was being said, exactly, the two saw one of the prostitutes turn to the other, and while continuing to chat he/she dumped somewhere around 30 used condom wrappers onto the side walk.
I will now allow you to think about this for a minute.
Without pondering too much, think to yourself: What do I find most disturbing about this story?
Please feel free to share your answers to this question in the comments area.
The story ends shortly after that point.
As my friend was lamenting (internally) the decay of Western society and its moral code, and while he was thinking about all the diseases that had just been introduced into the air by this sick, careless act, the girl he was with, in an appalled tone simply judged: "Litter bug!"
It seems that the Left in America got stuck on the catch phrases of the second grade. Ever notice how the UN-type diplomats out there are always demanding apologies? Condemnation resolutions are worthless, too. They accomplish nothing, but the gathering of "interested parties" to sign a non-binding piece of paper and then congratulate themselves on caring. Calling a biological hazard a pile of litter, requesting apologies from other grown ups, or signing resolutions are simple-minded techniques that we all learned in elementary school. Why must we apply such juvenile tactics in the real-world?
If your first thought here was also "litter bug", hurry and log off your computer, it is almost time for recess! Be sure to play fairly and don't exclude ANYONE!!!
