Ever since the first grade, I have been taught to obey the 3 R's: Recycle, Reduce, Reuse.

In our classrooms, we were exposed to all sorts of “eco” guest speakers, stickers and cartoon books. It was basically beaten into our minds that if we don't recycle, then we are accused of hating the planet.

I remember when GI Joe was no longer on TV, it was on one of my favorite childhood cartoons.  Hell I still even like GI Joe!  It was replaced on our channel with Captain Planet.  This new superhero fought crime and evil with "Recycling."  The show just might as well labeled all the villains in the cartoon the ‘Republicans’ and given Captain Planet a rainbow cape with a sidekick named ‘Che Guevara’. 

All of my life I have never really questioned the stupid big blue recycle can next to the trash can.  I would recycle my plastic and paper etc. and put the trashcans on the sidewalk every week. Then I started to think, does recycling really do anything?  Or is it another big scam from the same people who are now bringing us the global warming lie?

I then decided to do a little research.

1. Only 5-10% of what is collected to recycle can be and is actually recycled. 
2. It costs millions more for cities to recycle the 5-10% than to compress and dig deeper landfills. 
3 Landfills are not dangerous, and we have more than enough land where our current landfills reside to take care of all the trash for hundreds of years. 
4. Since it costs more for cities to recycle than to not, a section of New York had to temporarily stop its recycling program, because it cost too much money.  They ended up having to raise taxes to pay off the debt. 

On a side note, I think they restarted the recycling program due to eco-hippy pressure. 
 
The Bottom Line: 

I was lied to and brainwashed as a child by communist liberal public school teachers. They told me that I hate the planet if I do not recycle, that landfills are over flowing and we have no land left, and that global warming will kill all of us if we don’t start recycling now.  I do not appreciate being lied to, and I do not appreciate pulling the plug on GI Joe for Rainbow-man Planet.  As for my conclusion, I will never recycle again.  Therefore I removed the blue can from the side of my house.

I also believe that we should shut down recycling centers across the country because they help raise our taxes and they fund drug dealers who recycle for a living.  Do you really think all these homeless bums who walk around all day and night with their stolen shopping carts help the environment and stop global warming?  No.  They do it so they can get money from the recycling centers after they spend all of their welfare money (that we provide through our taxes) so they can buy more crack, heroin, etc.  I see bums do it night and day in south central Los Angeles, were I work.  They even have personally told me that they do this daily.  Why do you think there is such a huge homeless and drug problem in many cities across the country?  Why are there so many recycling centers in cities in easily accessible areas?  I don’t wonder why, because now I know and so shall you. 
 
Consequently, I’m going to be mean and say, by recycling you are responsible for increasing taxes, sponsoring drug dealers, increasing the homeless problem, and contributing to the spread of infections (including HIV that is contracted from dirty needles bums use and leave for city workers and first responders to be poked with.)  Not to mention you are responsible for forwarding liberal lies that brainwash our children at school, while you work hard everyday to pay increasing taxes just so you can fund this sick cycle of eco liberal crap.  I'm sick of all of it.  I am proposing a "Kill the Blue Can" campaign that should be practiced in your house and local neighborhood.  In doing so, you become a part of the solution and will help to fight crime across the country.
