Must be just another symptom of the "me" generation. >[FLAME OFF] *A*M*E*N*!* One quibble, though: Most pigs that I've seen in a farmyard that has enough space will NOT foul their own habitat, they will (instinctively or whatever) use someplace else. (Pigs ain't stupid, kiddies!) I'm not really upset about your defamation of pigs, though, Judy. I agree with your sentiments, and I've sometimes wished to know where someone I've seen littering lived, so that I could gather a bag of beer bottles from the side of the road and deliver them airmail to the offending party's doorstep. Maybe ( :-) ) the solution is to put the garbage bag over the litterer's head? Breathe deep, now! -- TEDDY BEARS ARE MUCH NICER THAN PEOPLE--HUG YOURS, I DO!
