FROM AN EARLIER POST, this question was raised:

Let's say you come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood and your home has sewage all the way up to your ceiling. What do you think you should do ... raise the ceiling, or remove the shit?

If you're a liberal, the answer is obvious: demand a new home in another location, compensation for inconvenience, and abandon the old home to decay. But clean up the shit? Never.
