THANK YOU!!! It seems to be so ingrained amongst some people that they don't even know they're doing it. A cigarette butt is one thing, but I see so many people walking down the street beligerantly throwing entire bags of fast food on the sidewalk, just the other day I saw a guy tearing up his mail and dramatically hurling the shreds over his shoulder, I've even seen police officers throw trash down on the ground themselves. It doesn't just add to the amount of filth on our streets, but it demonstrates a disgusting lack of respect people have for our own city. Littering is already illegal and it's been so plenty long enough for people to get used to. All it would take is a handfull of tickets to be written and the word to spread that it's being cracked down on to get people to stop.

Ban the Bans. It's a slippery slope between Idealism and Fascism.
