BLOG OF THE DAY...

Aspen Colorado voted to ban plastic bags from the town's grocery stores and enacted a 20 cent fee on paper bags.

MY WIFE WENT INTO THE GROCERY STORE AND INSTEAD OF THE PAPER BAGS SHE BOUGHT TWO CLOTH BAGS RECOMMENDED BY THE STORE AS TO THEIR PERMANENCE.

NOW GET THIS REALLY WELL.  THE BAGS SHE PURCHASED FROM BOTH FOOD STORES, MADE BY DIFFERENT COMPANIES, WERE BOTH MADE IN CHINA.

How many people  working in the plastic and paper industry will now lose jobs.  As Jack Nicholson said in a famous movie, "You don't want to hear the truth, you can't take it".

The environmentally powerful lobbyists outsourced more jobs. We are a democracy therefore we get what the people want, in this case less jobs.
