You must be reading and believing the "Liberal" press?


Nope. I'm reading official state sources. What right-wing comic books are
you reading, though?

What they do is throw them into the back of their pickup.


From the official site http://www.dontmesswithtexas.org/facts.php:

"More than half of roadside litter in Texas flies out of the back of pickup
trucks. Throwing lightweight objects in your truck bed is the same as
throwing them out the window."

If you haven't heard, one of the Texas rules of the road is "Don't
MESS with Texas". Instead of setting up Police road traps for
speeding, we just catch the transits littering our highways and stick
it to them.


Yeah, right. That explains why the Texas Department of Transportation
spends more than $30 million a year in state tax dollars picking up
roadside litter alone. Gotta be all those transients, I'm sure...

From a TxDOT press release dated July 22, 2003:

"The first-ever Don't Mess with Texas Road Tour is taking its truck full of
litter-related games and prizes through Laredo tomorrow to inform the
state's worst litterers - Texans ages 16-24 - about the consequences of
littering."

Damned transients...

Welcome to the real world young man.

Can't be the real world if *you're* welcoming me to it. Your grasp of
reality seems tenuous at best...
