God bless the bus driver in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire who drew the line when this prattling freak (age 25) and his geek girlfriend-on-a-leash (age 19) tried to get on the local bus.
The driver said No Doing: "We don't let freaks and dogs like you on."
Perfect.
If you claim to be a "human pet," then perhaps you will have to live by pet rules. And the pet rules are simple: No dogs are allowed on the bus!
Of course, these bits of boot-scrape are living on the dole, living in public housing, and planning to start a family.
Planning to start a family? Of course they are. Where is the RSPCA spay-neuter program when you need it?
My objection to this kind of nonsense is not simply visual: these freaks are requiring the public to participate in their voyeuristic sado-masochism.
There is no reason for the public to tolerate this.
Yes, people can do whatever the hell they want in private, but in public spaces the rules can be laid down, and it's a simple-enough rule to say the public will not subsidize human degradation by allowing freaks to parade geeks on a leash on the public bus.
My bet is that everyone in Dewsbury has bought the bus driver a round or two.
And they should; it's high time the world began to push back against the colonization of public space by thugs, vandals, and freaks.
These public spaces -- our parks, subways, libraries, and schools -- are a monument to civilization, and yet they have been degraded to the point of abandonement because we have not made clear that certain kinds of behaviors, activities, and presentations will not be tolerated.
It's time to push back! It's time to fence out uncivility and degradation and reinforce social norms as regards music volume, personal hygiene, intoxication, and other kinds of offensive conduct that drives the public from tax-payer financed public spaces.
