In Defense of Freegans (Sorta)
Well, someone had to do it. UnlikeWayne I don’t mind the freegans. Yes, they’re annoying and self righteous. But they do practice what they preach. So what if they like “good” garbage? So, presumably, do homeless people and others who are actually in need. Likewise, yes, they would prefer social changes that I don’t like: so do lots of other groups. A liberal society should make room for all sorts of oddballs and actually becomes stronger on the basis of this sort of genuine diversity. To me, they’re pretty much harmless and may even provide a good object lesson of the lifestyle the environmental left would like to impose on all of us.
