Yes, it is part of their job. It's not an easy job. For one thing, they have to deal with the trash cans (and their contents). They have to deal with containers that may or may not contain liquid and may or may not be open. They have to deal with potentially dangerous debris (say somebody breaks a bottle at a football game). And they have to do it over the entire stadium with a crew that's probably only about a fiftieth the size of just our participants (land we don't fill the whole dome).

If you were in that type of job, don't you think that you'd appreciate it if some of those folks who make a mess actually clean it up? Maybe at least put it in the nearest trash can, instead of leaving it for you to get hours later? It wasn't a brick that broke the camel's back, you know--it was a straw!

If we are to change the culture, we must BE the change--and you, sir, are not changing the culture.


Maybe I have no problem with making and throwing the airplanes (though I don't remember a single one in my time in Atlanta or Houston, or my one trip to Epcot for the Nationals--2003-2007 and 2000, respectively), but I do have a problem with people not picking them up.
