Liberals never acknowledge any unintended consequences or costs with any of their pet programs. No amount of facts, logic or the lessons of history can force them to see the downside of their wacky ideas.
One of the good things about this manufactured crisis: The do-gooders rescinded the plastic bag ban in my city. Many of us made the point not only were reusable bags more damaging to the environment after one wash, but that folks would probably never wash, making the reusable bags a public health hazard (salmonella anyone?)
Magically, plastic bags are back. To stay? Who knows.
LIB/Leftists are lunatics. They are pathetic malignancies on civil societies everywhere.
