3. Christ, it is springtime and people are spraying this shit everywhere around here.

Got into it with my neighbor because he was leaning over my fence and spraying that shit along my fenceline. He says he was doing me a favor by making my fence look neater. I told him I don't want poison sprayed in my yard.

Now I see in the public parks, workers spraying it around signposts, playground equipment, fences, sidewalks. One of the guys told me it was so they could mow with a tractor and not have to worry about coming back to trim around objects in the park.

I'm half afraid to walk my dog in the park, because glyphosate has a sweet flavor that dogs (and cats) like to lick, just like anti-freeze. I am shocked that people want this in parks and yards where their children play.
