Title: Garbage Men Are More Important than Doctors

If the United States had no doctors, the country would still survive. If it had no garbage men, it wouldn’t survive as the same country. So which is more important?

With no doctors whatsoever some people would live longer, since quite a few people die from prescription medication errors. Others would die sooner, from needing operations or from not getting treatment for accidents. But overall, what would happen to the death rate with no doctors? I don’t know, but I suspect it wouldn’t change all that much.

Now without garbage men, what would you do with your garbage? Put it in your car and sit in line to dump it in a garbage dump? Do you really want to do that?

When I was a kid we burned it in a fifty-gallon steel can. Everyone did. I have no memory of what we did with the ashes. Did we burn everything? Probably not. I’m sure we still had garbage men, but I was so little I just don’t remember.

Garbage men make life so much easier. You put your garbage in your garbage can, put it out front or in back, and it disappears! Then you bring the can back inside. There are even garbage bags to keep the can clean. If you think about it, it’s actually an impressive feat.

Oh for crying out loud, Turtle, are people now completely incapable of taking the trash to the waste facility or dump? It's too much for businesses and people to take care of this job themselves? This nation is toast if people can't even manage this small feat for themselves.

You've obviously never done it.

You'll sit in line for an hour at some of them.

I'm from MT where there is no stinking garbage man to come pick up your trash. Folks actually do for themselves up there. Sounds like you have been dependent upon somebody else doing for you what you should be able to do for yourself all your life Turtle. It's as bad as sucking of the government teat. Sigh.

The wait isn't that bad around here either. I've never waited more than a couple of minutes at any of them. Why don't you go to one with less traffic?
