Porky and the Vacuum

3.2.2013


There's some bad shit happening down in, uh, some town called "Downey."  Seems someone's battery recycling plant has been poisoning the nearby environment with all sorts of nasty elements, chemicals and compounds.  There are neighborhoods, schools, day care centers, shopping malls, gardens, parks and all sortsa things people sit on, stand on, sleep on, eat, breathe and other things that involve everyday life that are covered with shit that give ya cancer.  Like I said, it's nasty.

Thing is, why is this happening?  Why are people there?  Where they there first?  Why is the factory there?  Was it there first?  I haven't looked up what group was there first, but why bother?  Either one shoulda avoided the other in the first place.  I just do not get things like this.  I can simplify what I'd do in such a situation with an analogous example:

Let's say I board a city bus.  It's something I did a bit in SF, never in LA, but thousands of times in Chicago.  I board a bus and surveying the coach for a seat I spy a stinky bum.  A really filthy, rag-wearing malodorous bus urchin.  I, me, what I do is  ... not sit by the scuzz.  I sit far away from him.  I hold my breath walking past him.  That's what I do.

Alternately, say that I'm already ON the bus when some 7 foot tall, tatter-wrapped, foul-mouthed, foul-smelling beastie boards the bus.  I, me, what I do is ... move.  I move far away from him.  I hold my breath while I move.  That's what I do.
