The California state legislature enacted a ban on plastic grocery bags on Friday near the end of its two-year session, a measure that if signed into law would become the first of its kind in America.

A number of cities and counties in California and other U.S. states, including Hawaii's Maui County, have made it illegal for grocery stores to pack purchases in plastic. But at the state level, opposition from plastic bag makers has usually prevailed.

The California Senate voted 22-15 for the bill, which must be signed into law by Sept. 30 by Democratic Governor Jerry Brown, who has not signaled a position on the measure.

Why stop there? Why not ban automobiles, too? Surely, that'll save the planet quicker.

That would certainly turn California 'red'...wouldn't it?   LOL!

Maryland charges five cents for every bag....whether paper or plastic.

Nothing but a revenue stream...from the state that taxes rainwater that falls on your property.

The way California is headed, pedophilia, polygamy, beastiality, Islamic rape, will all be legal. The only things illegal will be Christianity, or anything related to America, like a flag for example.
 
Why don't they just hire Putin for govenor? Oh wait, no they can't do that because Putin, Castro, China, et al, would shoot these idiots on sight. It is weird that the communists are more conservative than the American Left.
 
Hey? When is California going to ban itself? They should ban gasoline, heating oil, electricity, every thing modern. Then they can go live their life in a cave like the luddites they are. But what is even more weird is that the American Left are beyond even luddites.
 
When they are living in their caves, they would not be allowed to burn wood as the cavemen did, you know, because it is banned.
 
Seriously, when are we going to get rid of these stupid, freaking retarded FOOLs?

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

It will split in a few million years I believe. If we could just hold out until then.  :laugh:
