This is the rest of the story that makes you conservatives look so stupid on this with all your hysteria.
Back in August the STATE of California REJECTED a plan to ban plastic shopping bags, so:
The BIG government of California did not impose this on all of California, but, left it to the local governments, where, in the case of LA county, the LOCAL government decided for the ban. The rest of California can decide as it pleases, locality by locality.
This is exactly how the right wants more of government to work isn't it???
Tell me why I'm wrong.
The only one who looks stupid here is you carbiner.
Sure the local government can do something like this. It doesn't mean it isn't stupid.
Like I said in my first post to you, liberals aren't just in the fed, they are in the state and local government.
Like the stupid liberal we had in City Council some years back that wanted to make magic markers something you could only buy if you were 18 and had a license (like they were a pack a cigarettes or something).
This stupid woman thought this "bright idea" would cut down on grafitti.
Local merchants had another idea, because it would put the burden of checking all these IDs on THEM, and they weren't interested in having to check IDs just to sell stupid magic markers.
Well, merchants finally forced this to the ballot box where it went down in flames. This same woman who was up for reelection at the same time went down in flames as well.
Just because it's local government doesn't instantly make it sacred and beyond challenge.
It's stupid of you to even try such an argument. But then you ARE Carbiner. I should expect just such a stupid argument.



YES, we want things decided more by local government SO WE CAN PUT UP JUST SUCH CHALLENGES.
It's typical of you not to get that.
DUH!
