Be Happy! (That's an order)

Paper or Plastic? That question may soon be irrelevant in Los Angeles county.

County Board Votes To Reduce Plastic Bag Use

Why? Because some small group of elites has already decided that the rest of us do not have the mental capacity to make this decision on our own. That you are not intelligent enough to take in information that is relevant to you and your world and make up your own mind about what action you will take. After all, people cannot be trusted to do good on their own accord, they must be forced to be good (or pay the consequences).

Here's a particualrly disturbing passage...

"The board also voted to pursue state legislation that would allow the county and other jurisdictions to impose a fee on every plastic bag used by shoppers."

Question: Why do people like these hate those with low-incomes so much? Who does a fee like this penalize? Rich guys like me who light our Cohibas with $100 bills or those who need to make every penny count?

Is it any wonder that California has earned the nickname "The Nanny State?"
