While still being an idiot, you bring up a great point.  We--you 
especially--are in need of a civics lessen.  What things are done at the 
federal level, the state level, and the municipal level?  Methinks 
keeping a city or township clean is done at the municipal level 
primarily.  A state could have an initiative to have these things done 
throughout the state, but I find that this would be unlikely.  Meanwhile 
your incessant whining and idiocy on the subject hasn't really made 
anything in the realm of facts at all forthcoming.  Hope this helps.
