    I wouldn't worry about it. A lot of people on these forums keep freaking out about CRTs. I drive by a tv sitting out by the road everyday. Even empty tubes. Everyone does it here, there are no way of enforcing it.

    It's really not about the guvmin't and not getting caught.

    It's about the choices you make. You can choose to be selfish and leave a trail of toxic waste in your wake for somebody else to deal with -or- you can choose to be a stand up guy, take responsibility, and do the right thing.

    Both choices have consequences .... some good .... some bad.

    Either way ... what goes around eventually comes around. There's no way to escape it.

    This is a classic mistake of a new, uneducated, or D- G-A S (don't give a shi**) scrounger, with no care or common sense, that gives us all a bad name. and why we have such ridicules EPA regs.

    why dosen"t the Gov. take some of the millions given to countries that hate us, or some of the Billions spent on useless illegal wars and solve this problem.

    This would be a good time to test the power of this forum and its members to petition a senator or the U.N. to find a solution to this problem we know there is recoverable material in CRTs, and we also know there is a way to recycle them we just need the recourses in the proper area. If the governments or the tree huggers really cared they would find a solution.

    They found a way to listen and keep track of every single person on the planet and rule the weather for gods sake. Sry for the rant. This is a post and a response really piss** me off.
