I hate littering, but a felony is a BIT excessive, even for an anti-littering fascist like myself.

Even Singaporeans would be shocked.

At least they're focusing on Illinois' more serious problems.

During 300F-1 we'd be policing up butts every morning and the smokers would bitch the loudest and every afternoon you see those belly achers flicking them butts.

I don't know about felony littering, but guillotining is too good for 'em.

I have strong opinions on smoking and littering. I'm with MR2 on this one.

Can't put up with litterbugs in Utopia. After all the murder rate is down and the school system is outstanding.

A three year prison sentence for littering is synonymous with a uniform violation being punished with execution.
