Fire! Fire! I'm really angry!

smokers.

I'm truly amazed. Just minutes ago I was driving on way home, and a division between roads with wood chips were smoking! I had to stop at safe spot and run and stop it. I successfully stopped it.

It could have changed into fire and send off enough stuff to start fires at nearby spots by fire. The place I'm living at could have been set on fire too. I am not angry about that at all. Not even it was endangering my home. Not at all. Unforeseen risks is part of our lives.

What made me angry you ask?

Care to guess what caused the fire? It's smoke butt. It was lit and the area around it were black and smoking. I'm glad to stop it, but who would be so damned careless with something that's on fire?

That have put me into this line of thinking: Why are we still allowing smokers to smoke? I always see in least 10 to 20 hills at sides of freeways burnt black from careless smokers.

Don't ever change into living incendiary devices we call smokers.

Maybe we're still allowing smokers to smoke because, deep down, we don't WANT a totalitarian government. Just a thought.

For the record: littering is illegal. Recklessly causing a fire is also illegal. It stands to reason that there are already legal standards in place to punish such irresponsible activity.

For the record, I'm a nonsmoker.

I know. My solution is a little extreme but jeez I just wish it's banned. I'm sure it'll seriously lessen fire risk and littering.

they didn't notice and drove for miles

Exactly. I'm betting those smokers didn't notice too. I just wish that there is a way to actually catch those people in the act. But that could convert USA into a videotaped country which there is cameras everything spying into everyones lives. I don't want that either.
