Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.

Recycling is garbage
Even the NY Times has recognized that mandatory recycling is a waste of resources. Reducing trash and recycling valuable waste is a good idea. But once again, a good idea gets perverted when it becomes public policy.
Sign of the times?
This is old but worth noting. An article in the Register, with the title Hipster whines at tech mag for using his pic to imply hipsters look the same, discovers pic was of an entirely different hipster, someone complains that his picture was used without his permission. But it was him. So don’t feel bad if you think all hipster look the same.
