No, really. "Dumpster Directory," even. Well, whatever floats their boat, I suppose, but at least it’s a pretty funny read. And now I know what to call the bums around here who dig through trash and sleep in the parks.
It somehow escapes their notice, apparently, that theirs is a deep irony: in order to protest the "conventional economy," as they call it, in part for being so wasteful, they subside off its waste. It’s really just a more stark and obvious (honest) form of the same irony that underlies all fundamental opposition to capitalism, free markets and private property.
