Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] cheap linux friendly inkjets

It reminds me of my bedroom, I have decades of computer parts stashed away
in just as hopeless a situation. This sounds like stuff I buy off EBay to
harvest for projects. Also just because I trash a printer doesn't mean I
actually put it in the trash and ship it to China. I just stop using it
and get a new one and use the old one for whatever use seems interesting.

You see trash but I see a fortune to be made. Given a decade or two and
reclamation technology should be good enough that recycling our garbage
right out of the dump sites will be easy and the people with legal claim
to these sites will be sitting on a fantastic mine. It's all the things we
use already gathered together. Nobody has to look for natural locations,
dig it up, etc. Robotics and nano-tech will turn reclamation into an easy
task. Since our parents have raped the Earth of it's resources we'll
probably have little left in natural resources anyway. Recycle recycle
recycle! Really it's more practical from a reclamation standpoint to dump
everything in big piles so they'll be cheaper to reclaim. People who try
to use things to sparingly or recycle in dumb ways (like my sisters
greenpeace friends) are actually hurting humanity and the enviroment.

As for the poor folks that are forced to rip this stuff apart NOW I guess
I feel sorry they're poor and all but my opinion is the same as for
Americans. If the government and corporations abuse you then grab your
pitchforks and show them who has the power. If enough people are really
suffering they'll change things for themselves. If I had the money I'd go
ask them if they wanted help and if so help them. As I don't hen I'll mind
my own business. As my own business tends towards goals that help poor
powerless bits of shit (like myself) in some way maybe I'll help them
anyway.

I have no soul. It was killed in the second grade by my fellow
schoolchildren and the SOB adults that were supposed to be making the
world all rose colored and warm. Heil Schweinlehrer.
