But if there was no one to take the refuse of the world and put in a safe place, there could not be enough people in the health care profession to deal with the disease that would occur. If you are gainfully employed doing an honest day’s job, you are in fact making the world a better place for us all doing the LORD’s work and have no reason at all to be lost. Plus, you also have the opportunity many of us do not, to run across some pretty cool stuff some idiot does not value, and has thrown away.

While you make a great point about the importance of garbage collection, I think you may have read into my Jim Beam and ginger ale fueled rant a little too literally. I'm not a garbage collector. I was merely stating how I felt my go nowhere job, which does nothing to make the world a better place, was comparable to garbage.
