Councilmember Larry Gossett said he didn’t like the idea of power-washing the sidewalks because it brought back images of the use of hoses against civil-rights activists.Yup.

Good Lord. Any civilization that accumulates enough of this stupidity (and lets it rise to the top!) can't be far away from collapse. We have to be close to critical mass at this point.
ReplyDeleteWow, excremental sidewalk pollution isn't just a San Francisco thing. Maybe the Corp of Engineers should replicate Hercules' cleansing of the Augean stables.
