I'm Surrounded By Idiots

I was sitting in the Glen dining hall today, eating my lunch, reading for psychology, & just taking a breather. I looked up. And sitting in front of me - and on all the other tables - was a little flyer. Not a rare occurrence. It's a college, there are flyers everywhere. Outrages you didn't know existed. Parties with "all you can smoke." I have not yet attended one of these loud, crowded events that have yet to appeal to me even a little, but I still read the flyers on the off chance that one might actually draw my interest - but mostly to amuse myself with the options available to me & the peopel around me. So I read the flyer.

It had a picture of the Earth with the words, "You're killing me. Please recycle." It then proceeded to list statistics. In one year, Towson dining wastes 4.4 million napkis, 2.1 million plastic utensils, 720,000 paper plates, etc. If I THOUGHT someone of any authority or who was in any way connected to the distribution of these flyers would have read it, I'd have written, "You forgot the statistic about how much paper is wasted by putting flyers on every damn table in the Glen."



btw, today's title is provided by Scar from the Lion King.
