Seeing how some very particular relatives are, I wonder if much of the gas leaf blower crowd is less "watch me stick it to the libs" and more "look at me, I'm cleaning my yard, that makes me better than you"

And by "cleaning my yard" they really mean "blowing whatever I consider a mess onto whatever is beside my yard, or in the general vicinity for the dust".
