question everything

I am sitting at my desk tearing papers that I no longer need

What do I do with these smaller pieces of paper? Throw them into the waste basket, of course. No servant is going to enter the room to collect these pieces.

This is what stood up for me with Whiny Donny: OK, you tear papers that you no longer need, can't you throw the tears into some kind of a trash container?

Which was one of the bizarre things the Arizona Cyberninjas were claiming. Is this how they got the idea?

Tiniest Ziplock full of shreds In-and-Out; rescue or flush. I used cloth "baby"diapers and did the old dunk before laundering, LOL!

At one point, wasn't there a lot of phlalates (BHA) in sippy cups, receipts, and machine-printed materials (paper/ink/toners?)

He knew that every Presidential document had to be preserved for the Archives, but he didn't care. He knew that government employees were collecting tiny torn up pieces of paper and reassembling them, as tedious as that sounds.

It makes us wonder why it was so important to flush the paper bits down the toilet. Were the documents so damning that he had to break the law to dispose of them?

In his case, the defined consequences include jail, a fine, and being permanently barred from office.

None of which will ever happen.
