....... Now, mr. frog, let me ask you. Are you recommending digging through garbage and dumpsters as a way of life, a life style if you will?? Perhaps just as a 'cleansing' sort of a thing? Temporary perhaps? Would this be a healthy thing? Or, would you recommend if we can keep from doing that it would be better?
erhh not really recommending anything, well except maybe for the idea of taking a closer look at the question of value, perhaps.
once i went on a sight seeing boat ride tour through the canals of Ft. Lauderdale, past all these homes owned by movie stars, politicians, and big wig types. guess whose home was one of the ritziest, biggest most expensive of the lot? the guy who owned the cities garbage handling business, purportedly started by this guy with originally one garbage truck way back when, lol.
but well ok, think about the recycling industry as an example. all kind of stuff of value comes back to society as a result of it, not to mention an improvement for the environment. are there health concerns for the workers? i'm sure there are, just as there are for other major industries.
but what ever, isn't a good bit of what mankind is about is figuring out ways to deal with a dangerous environment while extracting the good stuff from it.
no big deal though, just i dunno, it's the idea of value that i think one doesn't want to overlook, sorta thing.
if you had a Rolex watch and accidentally dropped it in the potty would you consider figuring out a way to fish it out? lol..
Well, this sounds great! I'm going to tell my girlfriend I'm quittin my job and startin dumpster divin!! I'm sure that will thrill
