That’s a great way to look at it. Too bad The Sheeple haven’t a clue...

I hate to throw dirt in your face, Integrityrocks, but you are acting/sounding just like a liberal.

You hate the plastic bags for semi-legitimate reasons, and want to force your desire upon others.

But did you once consider that people like me, handicapped people, like the plastic bags because we can carry them ourselves. Paper bags (which kill the sainted tree) are impossible for me to carry.

Cloth bags are impractical because of the cost (very limited budget), the quantity needed for a weeks worth of groceries and condiments.

Just think for once.

Ha, ya beat me to it.

No memory or logic allowed, please, we’re Americans.
