Well, of course not. Paper bags are much better, or those cloth ones you can re-use.

The only place where I have seen this tried is in rural Africa when someone punctures a pipeline and villagers scramble to collect their share in any available container including plastic bags. And then someone decides to smoke a cigarette.

I’m not saying we should kill all the stupid people, I’m just saying we should remove all the warning labels and let things sort themselves out.

I wonder if it’s still okay for me to use a knife to get a speck of dirt out of my eye.

My wife filled up at the Love's down the highway this morning. She said it was expensive ($2.85/gal) but there were only three other cars at the pumps when she was there. No lines or hoarding.

I know this is only anecdotal but sometimes you can't believe what the media is reporting anymore.
