DO DELEGATES SHOP

They best be careful, those that favor eliminating plastic bags. I use them for the globs I pick from the cat liter box every day. What would a delegate recommend I use? Or for the garbage, should I just toss it loosely into the wastebasket…after a few days in the sun that might infuriate the trash gentlemen and cause them to sail the garbage can lids farther than they often do. Delegates could also lose votes next time around. We suggest only female delegates vote on such a proposition, eliminating plastic bags would be a national sea change, like eliminating purses. When you see a weakening lady with a cart piled high, a nose full of three kids begging for candy and headed for checkout, don’t tell her she must bring her own bags.  Don’t get us wrong, we favor those bags being allowed but with no more than a shelf life of six months and dated like milk cartons. At that point they must shrivel to the size of a cigarette butt containing chemicals that plants need.

The notion that delegates support outlawing plastic bags is absurd except for a handful of now identified tree hugging kooks all not surprisingly being Democrats. It has been well documented that bringing your own bag to the grocer limits the size of your purchases. Many chains now have bins where you can dispose the bags. In our house we use them as trash liners or as a North Carolina suitcase. Most of the time when bags are seen on the side of the road they were deposited by garbage trucks with open tops that spew their contents as they make the rounds.

Government is constantly seeking ways to impose themselves in every aspect of life. Not only are they in my plate, but now they are in my garbage. I suggest they put a bag over this idea and throw it away.

Sgt. Chuck Terrell is looing for new adventures is what an article in the SNH stated. Maybe the state will hire him to enforce the law if it becomes true and arrest those with bags that dont meet the states "standards".
China has banned plastic bags.Under the new rules, businesses will be prohibited from manufacturing, selling, or using bags less than 0.025 millimeters (0.00098 inches) thick, according to the order issued by the State Council, China's Cabinet.
What the key here is the wording manufacturing and selling. Lets look at the proposed restrictions being used by the liberals who are sponsoring the bill that is so critical to the state and govt mandated standards. The standards are 2.25 mm thick and must have handles. Hmmmmmmm I dont see where this effects China's status as the largest manufacture and exporter of plastic bags in the world.Supply and demand right? Once again China is becoming more capitalistic in it thinking in the world while we are becoming a socialist state being run by more rules,regulations and laws that liberals/socialist want to impose on society and America.

A simple free market capatalist saying goes; if you don't take care of your customers, someone else will. Make it difficult for me to shop at your store and that will be the last time you see my money.

It looks like the bag ban was sacked.

A House committee has tabled a bill to ban flimsy plastic shopping bags in Virginia.

On a voice vote Wednesday, the House Agriculture, Chesapeake and Natural Resources Committee tabled House Bill 1498, which would have prohibited retailers from providing customers with thin plastic carryout bags.
