In Which I am Evil, Vol I

[danalwyn]

So today I contributed to the evil in society.

Instead of paying for parking at a public park (and thus increasing the maintenance budget that the park service has to work with), I instead opted to park at the local Wal-Mart and walk across the street. I feel ridiculously guilty about this, although in my defense I must say that there was quite a long line for park access.

Next in the chronicle of my descent into evil, I will walk on the grass.

Heh. Profound evil, that. This is a species of evil that I engage in, too. Usually here parking revenue does not go to a particular venue, but rather into a general pot or even to a different organization which runs the parking areas. Consequently I have no moral qualms about not paying for parking by parking elsewhere that's fee and walking.

MY GOD, DAN, TURN AWAY FROM THE DARK SIDE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE

I would've done the same thing.

I'm rather fond of the dark side, it seems to cost me less.

I think it probably does go to a general pot. It's also a bit much to ask for $6 to $10 for parking at a public park when there's ample parking in the giant strip-mall parking lots nearby. I think the park service itself might not mind if the strip malls get filled with overflow from the park.

(I wasn't visiting the attractions that they put in the park either, I just wanted to take a walk, so I take that as my justification).
