OREGON OBSERVATIONS 11 APRIL 2023

Volunteers clean 2 mile section of West Eugene wetlands. I’ll give you three guesses who these volunteers are cleaning up after and the first two don’t count. It sure as hell isn’t the itinerant birdwatcher who inadvertently drops something as they reach for their binoculars. If you guessed bums and bumettes, you’d be right. At some point, you’ve GOT to make the connection – people take better care of the environment by following their pooch around and picking up its shit as soon as it hits the ground because there are laws on the books that specifically talk about that. On the other hand, bums turn every place they go into a squalor-filled eyesore, and nobody lifts a finger until the trash causes a traffic hazard, and the piles are so big it takes a wheel loader and a dump truck to get rid of the stuff. Come on, people! It’s election season – do ALL of us a favor. Convince your favorite wannabe politician to start using Transition Centers. Don’t waste your time talking to the ones that’ve been in office for 30 or 40-some years. If they haven’t done a damned thing about the bums in all that time, they sure as hell aren’t gonna do anything about them during their upcoming term. We need somebody with enough money to start an anti-bum lobbying group, and maybe something would get done. After all, money talks, and here’s the problem – nobody’s spending dough to lobby on YOUR behalf. They’re spending money lobbying on the BUM’S behalf.
