JoB, I never said whether I was against the fee. I never said I don’t use my own bags (I do). I never said I wasn’t concerned about the environment.
What I did say, is I’m against people who make decisions and that’s it. I’m the decider. I’ve decided. “You’re either with us, or against us.” And to question that, you’re called whiners, juvenile, and callous toward the environment.
This is a convenient perspective when it concerns an issue you agree with.
Perhaps I wasn’t paying attention, but I don’t recall any kind of community input or educational symposium and I’d like to know more. Maybe I will propose biodegradable bags to the city council. Is it something they considered? Is it possible? If we, as taxpayers/consumers, are going to be paying for it one way or another, what are the options?
I’m simply participating in a forum discussion. No more, no less, and no need to try and shut me down.
