First they came for our plastic grocery bags. Then they came for our plastic straws. Now theyve come for our plastic water bottles at SFO. Yes, you read that right. Starting Tuesday, the sale of plastic water bottles will be banned at San Francisco International Airport, one of the few places they actually make sense. California has many dumb laws and statutes and bans, but this one is especially brainlessspurred by futile self-righteousness.
After running late for your flight after a 30-minute security line only to have TSA confiscate your Fiji water bottle, youll now have to stop at a crowded water fountain to fill your own metal flask. Or buy an overpriced glass or aluminum bottle at the concession stand, paying another 10 cents for a bag. And your teeth will chatter if you drink through a paper straw. Of course you could risk dehydration instead: Men lose up to a half-gallon of water during a 10-hour flight. Oddly, you can still buy sugary drinks in plastic bottles at SFO; only healthy, calorie-free water is banned in plastic. You cant make this stuff up.
Other fields are even worse. Starting next year, the California Building Standards Commission will require every new home to have solar panels. This will add $8,400 to the average cost of the states already expensive homes. With a shortage of about 1.4 million housing units, according to the California Housing Partnership, thats a $12 billion unfunded mandate. ***
Theres more. Proposition 64, passed in 2016, allows Californians to grow six pot plants at home. Why not seven? And there is still no measurable legal limit for driving while stoned. When hungry, you can bring your dog to restaurants. Since 2015 no one can stop you. ***

Can’t ban that; Hollywood would go out of business if their stars couldn’t get plastic surgery.
The various airports have banned bottled water in the past when I’ve flow because of the “liquid size”.
Outside of the South Idaho is pretty much it. The rest of the Western States have been poisoned by the Cancer of Liberalism.
Southwest Idaho is still on our short list.
