The garbage can in the background is 100 feet away. You can't see it in the photo, but they also threw little unopened salt packets all over the place. Weird.
According to some folks I've encountered around here, the right to trash one's place is vested in the Constitution. It is freedom! That this trash occurred in a public park only underscores the communistic nature of "public parks" in the first place. Think of this as John Galt's calling card.

I bet it's less of a problem in places where education is better and smoking and obesity rates are lower. You know, where it's bluer. People do this because they think they have rights to.

Mrs. Creek and I just picked up another disposable diaper from Whites Creek. Salt packets seem fairly innocuous.

Littering fines in some other cities I know of are upwards of $1000. It's enforced for the same reason.
Also, places with higher tax rates tend to have more voter participation in government after the elections. Taxes mean commitment.
They left it on the table. It's not their fault if the wind blew it off.
