    I have to wonder how long your cities, counties or states will allow this type of behavior to continue. In California, you are not suppose to have any e-waste outside in the rain for example, for extended lengths of time because the rain water will wash heavy metals and toxins into the sewer and thus the water supply. Smashing CRTs to remove part of them is the most idiotic act I have heard so far. If people understood what exactly they were doing, they wouldn't do it. Or at least I hope they wouldn't.

    I hope when the day comes where stricter laws are passed preventing people from leaving junk on the curb for people to pick up, the people who are breaking things and clipping chords don't show up here and complain about the new laws.

    If everyone conducted themselves in an honorable way, there would be no need for laws, and because lawmakers never conduct themselves in an honorable way, you can expect the laws, when passed, to be excessive in their scope.
