Full disclosure... I actually prefer the reusable bags because I can stuff more stuff into them and make fewer trips to and from the car to bring said stuff into the house.

But the funny part is the attitude towards taxing (yes, it is a tax) plastic grocery bags. The rationale is that they are bad for the planet. You'd think if that was the case the government would just ban them.

Did they ban cigarettes? No. They taxed a legal product to the point where that taxation is a bill of attender(sp) And, do you really believe that cigarettes cause cancer after there are so many cases of mesothelioma (asbestos)? another money maker for those ambulance chasing Dem lawyers? You can call me cynical but I believe nothing that comes out of any politician's mouth.
