us pat tm off teens bury social conscience underneath mounds of litter of all the obsessions known to mankind that of being a neat freak is probably the one which attracts the most scorn there is an entire industry dedicated to the distribution of bumper stickers fridge magnets and desk plaques which go on the offensive in defending those who believe that random scattering is the sign of a well adjusted productive mind its got to the point where entire professions such as accounting are branded as being suited only to the most orderly impeccable and therefore dull individuals on the planet

live i bruce stapley wind involves washing their socks on fri day instead of the usual thursday laundry session it is with understandable reserva tion then that i admit to being the type of person who likes to see things in their place who sees a sink full of dirty dishes as just about the most loathsome example of blatant dishevclmcnt imaginable my cd collection is alphabetically arranged my shirts hang in the closet according to colour and my salad dress ings all inhabit the same cubby hole in the inside of the refrigerator door i even have separate recycling boxes for paper card board and bottles but while i realize many would be less inclined than myself to pick up that news paper off the living room floor or instinc tively straighten out the kids insideout shirts lying about their bedrooms i have developed what i feel is a justifiable intol erance for gratuitous littering so you can understand my reaction upon making my lunchtime trip to the tribune office down the road on week days only to find the fallout of another high school stu dent lunch spree slovenly takes on a whole new meaning as i survey the scattered remains of pizza fries burgers and sandwiches not to men tion the paper plates pop cans and paper bagsused to contain these delicacies when i walk past around and sometimes over these lamentable litterers i always cast a disgusted look towards the ground and the refuse strewn there only to be given a collective glare in return are these kids from another planet do they think that like rainwater their fast food filth will simply wash down the sew ers it just boggles the mind that these young boors would be so unmindful of the efforts of the town and most local busi nesses to put forth a pleasant tidy front that they would wantonly scatter trash on side walks and grass a recent study conducted in british columbia schools revealed a dramatic drop in the awareness of basic social studies issues among young people in that province i would suggest that this daily orgy of debris here in my own town indi cates a profound lack of civic pride among these thoughtless young offenders like motorists who chuck cigarette wrappers and coffee cups out their windows onto the road these people display the most flagrant disregard for the appreciation of communi ty aesthetics that sets us apart from lesser life forms the fault certainly doesnt lie with the educators of these young litter bugs teach ers have got enough on their plate today without having to concern themselves with students leaving an unsavory blemish on the downtown landscape at lunch time no the blame should fall squarely on the shoul ders of parents who have obviously neglected to instill in their offspring from birth the basics of sharing space with oth ers in this world so while i certainly dont expect this army of tecnaged trash junkies to adopt my standards of boring orderliness im proposing a deal here you refrain from scattering your lunchtime refuse all over the sidewalk leading to the office and i promise to go a whole week without metic ulously folding my pjs every morning or picking lint up off the carpet i hope were both up to the challenge
