Mass slaughters and Destructive Americans
Being that I am a vegan a holiday involving the mass slaughter of turkeys is not among my favorite days of the year. And one incident this morning didn't happen to improve my mood. I was walking our 13 year old family dog who is often constipated. I walk slowly with her instead of dragging her along and didn't notice she happened to squat in front of one house.
Some girl with halloween decorations still up pops her head out the door in an oh-my-gawd voice asks me if my dog just popped on her lawn. I reply that I doubt it since my dog is 13 and constipated. I look around and tell her I don't see it. But she says she'll get me a bag. She hands it to me and I apologize because for some reason I want to be nice to people. Then I pick up some speck of brown the size of an m&m and put it in the bag and walk off.
As I walk I get more and more irratated with her. Who is this girl with a lawn full of crab grass and a layer of snow on it to be picky about her lawn. And does she know what compost is? It is shit. Without birds and squirrels shitting on her lawn it would be nothing. I hate lawns. They are showcases of our superficiality and selfishness.
To put it in a plastic bag to be sent to a dump is the most moronic invention. It's incredibly wasteful and it's people like her that are ruining the planet. Lawns waste water. The pollution created from mowing them is causing global warming. And the landfills filled with diapers and plastic baggies full of poop are releasing chemicals in the air that are destroying our health and our planet.
When I get my own house I will absolutely not have a house. I will not have a lawn mower. I will not use one-time use baby diapers and I will not create waste. That moronic girl has inspired me to go militant on the environmental beliefs I have. I'm going to make it my goal to produce no waste. And within the next two years, produce no pollution by transportation, mowing my lawn, or using electricity.
I'm a vegan, a compassionate and loving person. But when I encounter the destructiveness, the ignorance, and the selfishness of other people I sometimes wish that global warming would increase and burn out populations of over-consuming, careless Americans. Americans like to blame China but it is each individual in our capitalist nation that is killing the planet.
It's the result of each person who drives alone in a car, each person that does unnecessary things like mow thier lawns, or people who buy and buy things they don't need searching for happiness and ruining the planet from the pollution from the industry that created them and the waste that results when they throw it out the next month unused.
I'm so irrated with her I can't even start to think about how disgusting the mass slaughter of turkeys is or a holiday that involves women working in the kitchen and men on the couch watching football. I need to get my mind off of this. But before I do, I'm going to leave that girl a bag of compost, explaining what it is and why that makes her a moron.
