Trash dispute blocks trains in Italy

NAPLES, Italy (Reuters) - The main rail link to southern Italy and Sicily was blocked for a fourth day Monday by hundreds of people who remained camped on the track in protest at the reopening of a rubbish dump.

It all has to go somewhere.

I bet the whole irony will be that when everyone eventually leaves the protest camp, the whole place will be littered with garbage.

Of course, we will not even mention the aromatic pleasures of a litter box!

I can't quite picture hundreds of people camped on the railroad tracks, but I will take your word for it. I'm really beginning to wonder what this world is coming to, as if there aren't already enough stinky fly infested places to dump rubbish and garbage in the world.

Do you know if they are going to turn it into an official camp site in the near future?[:p]
