acroyearAnybody who doesn't think that legislation alone can clean up a city should read Robert Fripp's Diary for the last three days. Seems his experiences of Paris so far this week have been one pile of Dog Doo (literally) in the streets after another. He doesn't even need to begin to make any comments on the stereotype of how bad the people smell; their shoes alone seem to meet that one without argument.
Bowever, he does comment on how, within a WEEK of passing legislation, New York City's dog poo problem seemed almost permanently solved. The EPA at the local level certainly is effective, no?
Shame the EPA at the national level right now doesn't give a shit about anything, much less shit itself.
He also notes: "Paris is a city where people meet to consensually blow smoke over each other." (note: though I'm a non-smoker, and appreciate the concern for non-smoking sections, a concept that's unheard of on the EU continent, I do not support the absolute bans in NYC, California, or locally in Montgomery County, MD).
