Patch Blogger: Partying by Piggish People Leaves Beach Filthy with Litter
People partying on West Meadow Beach, which is illegal in the first place, need to take their garbage home with them.
This trashy scene really ticked me off this morning. I was walking down by West Meadow Beach and found it strewn with beer cans, empty bottles of alcohol and a homemade bong. The fire had long burned itself out, but it was dangerously close to the old decrepit shed.
I know kids are going to do this kind of thing, but what got me is that they are so self-centered and piggish about it. What happened to the environmentally sensitive generation? They are full of crap, that’s what. Couldn’t anyone have brought a garbage bag with them? I’d like to dump all this garbage in their driveway. And if you are going to leave a scene filthy with litter, don’t write your name all over the place. I found someone’s name on a box of leftover Girl Scout cookies, so I am on the case. It reminded me of that line in “Alice’s Restaurant” when Officer Opie finds an envelope at the bottom of a garage heap with Arlo Gutherie’s name on it. Arlo says, “I can’t deny it. I put that envelope on the bottom of that garbage heap.”
On a positive note, because I am really laden with sunshine, someone is a wonderful artist and left some lovely murals on the walls of the shed.
