I ask myself the samequestion. I think you willfind most"newbies" do
pick it up. Personally, I pay others to mow my grass and pick up
trash when I am not here. While I have no factual basis, I am
beginning to think there is a great deal of "fat" to cut on city
payrolls.

Are you suggesting a "white" conspiracy? You do african-americans
