People are pigs.
This is a logical conclusion for a Chicago beachcomber, but Jennifer Roche had a kinder view of us two-legged beasts as she roamed the sands on Tuesday, stooping to toss her finds into a white plastic garbage bag.
Cigarette butts. A Corona beer cap. Cigarette butts. Duct tape. Cigarette butts, cigarette butts, enough cigarette butts to make even a skeptic think the recent proposal to ban smoking on the city's beaches might not be so crazy after all.
"I like to think that once people get conscious about it they'll do the right thing," said Roche, plunging a hand into the sand.
