like tobogganing on glass

Last weekend we took the kids tobogganing on a hill where someone would a few days later leave a lot of broken glass. What the hell is the matter with people?
At least one can use a toboggan in this city on a Sunday, as we did. For nearly fifty years, it was illegal in Toronto! During the civic election last year I suggested to one of the campaign team for mayoral candidates that the laws regarding "truck lunches" in this city made the place look like "an uptight backwater". The person on the campaign team's twitter account agreed, unsurprisingly.
But still, better that than a place where people distribute 25cm shards of glass on a toboggan run!
