It’s not so much the bags as it is the crap inside them that the dimwits through out the window. Litterers(sp), suck.

I’ve taken to calling empty lots around Midland TX, “bag farms”.

And of course the root of the problem is that we are awash with people who haven’t been raised to believe that they should be responsible for anything. THey are not honorable, they are lazy and they think the rest of the world owes them a living. THAT is the real problem. And instead of addressing that our government wants to increase that problem and put a bandaid on the consequences, as if that will make any difference at all.

Is “ban” the only word liberals know?

It doesn’t matter what the item or activity is. If it is enjoyed, useful, productive, economical and/or improves, in any way, the American quality of life, liberals want it banned. If it is immoral, idiotic, unethical, illegal, unAmerican, profane, socialist, economically foolish, parasitic, perverse, and/or destructive to the American quality of life liberals promote it.

Is it not the libtards that ushered in the plastic bag to ‘save the trees’ & create less paper garbage in the first place?

Will it stop people from dumping off their old sofa’s and other large trash on the side of rural roads in the middle of the night?

I am old enough to remember what trash day was like before the invention of plastic bags. Rotting malodorous bits of food spilling out of metal trash cans, paper shopping bags of waste disintegrating when wet and spreading their goo everywhere, etc. Plastic bags were the best thing that ever happened to sanitation in this world.

The majority of time I see garbage in or at the side of the road, know what it is?

Mickey D stuff.

The only reason everyone started using plastic was because the whiney liberals of my time were complaining about cutting down trees (a crop, long term, still a crop) to make paper bags.

Of course, having the brains of a five year old (lack of development due to stupid parents) they couldn’t take their “victory” and now attack the vessel they conned corporations into using.

Once the same wussies CEO’s cave to plastic, as they are doing, here come the canvas bags. Soon the whiney libs will be claiming they cause cancer.

It seems to me the only way to stop this twilight zone pattern is to just shoot these morons and quit giving money to companies that cave into their stupid demands.

Since zombie movies are so popular we need to portray liberal lefties as such and declare open season.

Disclaimer for lib trolls: It’s a joke. You know, like Lenny Bruce, one of your icons. Today you’d arrest him for being politically incorrect you lousy excuses for human life. And to think these people like abortion. Again libs, practice what you preach.
