Iowa Matters?

Okay okay. There are complaints from enviromentalists that we "are running out of landfill space."

This is completely and utterly wrong. What the hell else are we going to do with Iowa?

Okay, so that was a joke, Iowa is not important enough to house landfills. Come to think of it, what the hell is in Iowa anyhow? Moose? No..that's Canada. Cheese? Nooope, that's Wisconsin. Cork? Portugal makes that, so, no...well, anyways, there is absolutely plenty of space left on the planet for landfills. Try Siberia. No one lives up there. Or Greenland. Plenty of room.

Enviromentalists also complain about the nature of landfills. That they 'ruin the enviroment.' The high school in my town was recently renevated. The trash from the construction was placed in the front yard, covered with dirt, and now is a nice grassy knoll that is popular for sledding in the wintertime. There you go. It's a landfill, but it doesn't smell, there's no residue or anything in our water system, and people enjoy it. Take that, you complainers.

Now, I'm all for saving the enviroment. I buy Dolphin-free tuna. I don't smoke. I doubt I ever will. I'm going t buy one of those electric cars. I hate styrofoam, expect for those packaging peanuts, because we make piles of them and jump in them and it's fun.

But still, landfills are not bad for anyone. Unless they decide to turn your house into one.

Unless you live in Iowa.

Then you don't matter.

We need a place to put our trash. All that packaging that comes for Slim Jims and those really really big bags of bags of bags of chips.

Iowa suits me fine.
