What a joke. Washing the dammed bags pollutes the environment MORE than using the plastic bags did!

But of course no liberal would ever admit that their laws are a complete joke. Instead, when their laws are proven as not working, they defend their laws and demand a strengthening of the laws.

And the plastic bags ARE reusable. You can take them back to the supermarket and use them again or you can use them for trash, wrapping the new york times in, etc.

I was thinking of your second option. Why dont some companies sell cartons of plastic bags to the public. Just bring then with you when you go to stores.

I read several studies of shopping carts and the Bactria contained on the carts. 80% contaminated. And these fools put their reusable bag in the cart. Game over for these libtruds.

An old, old, old story. Many woven plastic bags (and many bags that seem to be cloth are actually woven plastic so beware) are essentially flexible hypodermic needles lying in wait to suck in viruses and bacteria, and then pump them out when the bags are filled.

These cannot be washed because detergents simply can't be sucked up into the threads to kill the bugs!

They are such naive people, it is fun to prank them.

One time, visiting a friend in San Francisco, I was wearing full western regalia, when we visited a coffee shop full of sneering p.c. bigots. They made little effort to conceal their nasty comments, speaking to each other loud enough so that I could hear.

So I decided to confirm their prejudices, speaking with a decided southern accent. I think the one that most got their attention was when I invited my friend to go dolphin fishing with shotguns. “Taste great on the BBQ!”, I asserted.

Finally, a girl my friend had previously identified as a lesbian and a noisy one, stomped over to our table to berate me, and I let her have her harridan spiel before saying, “Sorry, honey, I got me a woman. But there’s got to be a real man here, somewhere, who can give you a ‘tension breaker’, if you’re that much in need.”

She about fainted, then stomped off in a pluperfect rage.

It was a few minutes after that when some guy finally worked up his courage to try and cheap shot me, no other reason to have an empty beer mug in one hand.

Staying out of easy range, I didn’t let him get far before I asked him if he knew what the difference was between California and Arizona. “Wut?”

“Gun rights. Arizonans have guns.”

Boy was dense. He actually blurted out “what does that matter?”, before the light dawned and he backed off. Nobody messed with us after that, and we departed.

Simpletons.

...they provide what the sponsor of Sacramento's latest effort, Assemblyman Marc Levine, D-San Rafael, calls "uniformity of experience" for shoppers and store owners.

Wait! I thought it was diversity, not uniformity, that brightened our lives?

By purchasing plastic bags for that purpose at the store.

I live in Santa Cruz County, California. Here’s a little article our county supervisors added to the bag ban

The charge imposed pursuant to this section shall not be applied to customers participating
in the California Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children,
the State Department of Social Services Food Stamp program, or other govemmentsubsidized
purchase programs for low-income residents.

So if you are on welfare you are exempt from all of this. So much for equal protection.

I always thought San Franciscoans were sack-religious.

San Francisco health officer Tomas Aragon reviewed Klick and Wright's paper and found “a biologically plausible hypothesis” but “sloppy” research. “It's a complicated topic. It's a little surprising that (they) would put this out there without a peer review,” he added.

You mean, like Manmade Global Warming?

We need to go back to paper. It is recyclable, biodegradable, and renewable. Moreover, we do need an economic reason to harvest more timber at a higher price simply because the selective logging we need to reduce overstocking costs more than clear cutting.

Funny how often that law hits liberals upside the head.

Only place to hit one with the least chance of doing any lasting harm.
