assholes

why do people throw out awesome old electronics like this stero tape recorder and tape deck and CUT OFF THE POWER CHORDS??!?!! this is the third time this has happened to me. the feeling undeniable joy from a great find during a midnight bulk waste run, and the subsequent crushed hopes and dreams of a cut power chord. makes me want to throw this tape deck through their frickin window! is there some sort of unwritten rule of homeowner assholes that says before you throw out tvs, vcrs, audio equipment, or anything else of potential value, that you have to ruin it and make sure no one else can use it??? so selfish! so frustrating! is there a way to fix this without electrocuting myself or creating a fire hazard? how can we raise public awareness about the importance and simple joys of trash picking. so many questions...i must make a psa.
