That was certainly true of me, but then my son attended a private Christian school which was a 45 minute drive from our home. But then, I am not one of those lefties who are always trying to get people out of their cars and onto public transportation.
Our local plastic bag ban was started by a guy who owned an organic food store and wanted to encourage people to make daily trips to the store on foot. The plastic bag ban went through, but his store went out of business and Trader Joes came in.
Funny thing is plastic bags were originally supported by the left to keep from killing so many trees for paper bags!!!
