People are pigs.

Yes, I just said that... and it's painting with a very broad brush. Basically, I'm alignment with what you're saying... lack of consciousness; lack of mindfulness. I find it particularly ironic when someone has obviously decided to be "environmentally conscious" by driving a Prius, but then they drive around pitching butts out the window. Or the people who support GreenPeace and have "Save The Rainforest" bumper stickers... on their SUV so large it can be seen from Pluto.
