"Soap isn't the problem. It's the oil and grease that gets washed off the cars,"

Which is just a tiny fraction of the oil and grease a car spits out when driving. Where do these dolts think this goes? It goes in the roads and is washed down the same drains in the road.

I think every creek in Fairfax County has been bone dry for about a month. I've been walking my dog down the dry beds as a change of scenery; we've found about a million old tennis balls.

Ban tennis in Fairfax if you want a clean environment.

Two women proposed the ban on car washing.

Three men opposed.

Defeated 3-2.

Socialism, thy name is Woman.

At least one business owner agreed with the proposal, saying it was unfair that residents could wash their cars while businesses are prohibited by ordinance from hosing down their sidewalks.

"You criminalize the merchants, but you let the residents wash their cars? How do I try to understand this?" said Rose Taber, owner of Rainbow Fabrics.


I don't see how Rose is agreeing with the ban. It seems Rose wants to lift the ban on businesses hosing down their sidewalks. I can, however, imagine Rose being a spiteful little witch who is all for depriving other's of freedoms because her's were taken.

Down here in NC we need folks to stop. The drought is real bad. We gotta save every drop.
