  • The Death Of Plastic Bags...

    OK, my state has passed a law where they will charge 10 cents to use/buy a plastic bag when shopping. Then in a year they will not be available at all. Neither will paper bags bags BTW. Now I'm conflicted - I have been using cloth reusable bags for a while now but I don't like being force to by law. It gets my back up...

      Laughing.

      Reminds me of when the city was going to force our church to add a wheelchair ramp to our fellowship hall entrance where there was one "step up" from the driveway to the door. A couple of our old deacons got all riled up and wanted to fight.

      I reminded them ... "Guys, we don't want to put the wheelchair ramp there because the city is FORCING us to -- we want to do it because we LOVE PEOPLE WHO NEED ACCESS!"

      One of the guys said, "oh, yeah...... but it gets my back up! "


      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            I think most Americans get their back up when the government tells us what to do. It is in our DNA...

              Our church had to have wheelchair ramps into the altar area in order to pass inspection when it was built - even though anyone who serves at the altar has to be able to stand.
              Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

                  Yup -- like seat belts. Or, better yet, motorcycle helmets.

                    As liberal as my state is, we still don't have helmet laws.

                      When you go grocery shopping, just buy a box of these, then open them in the line and tell the bagger to put your groceries in them.




                      It makes no sense. People tend to keep their small plastic grocery bags, but trash bags are meant to be tossed away as trash and the liberals are fine with selling them.

                            They're busy trying to figure out how to get free healthcare to illegals, and that would include head injuries from motorcycle crashes.
