Venting Part 2

Did I mention that in my Armenia 2020 there will be a recycling industry which will pay for metal, plastic, glass and paper? With a network of collection centers set up throughout the country, every piece of trash that can be turned into money will be picked out and turned in. There will be no automobile carcasses and brass headboards decorating village landscapes. The plastic bottles and aluminum cans of any shape and size will be swept clean from every trash pile and turned into money.

There will be animal services controlling the population of stray dogs and cats. The undescribably ugly mutts running around the country in packs will be spayed and neutered, the ones that are too sick or too old - humanely put to sleep. Once the trash piles are gone, there will be less stray cats; those will be altered as well, which will slowly bring the cat population to a minimum necessary to keep away the rats and mice.

The police will be busy enforcing laws, not collecting bribes. Their income will not depend on how many citizens they stripped of their money. It will depend on their knowledge, skill and length of honest, straighforward service. (I kind of surpised myself with this one - is it even possible?)

To be continued...
