McAllen Texas rests in the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas, right along the border with Mexico. And for now, at least, McAllen is not hopping on the plastic bag ban train to nowhere.
If you have not been following my recent (bizarre and persistent) interest in this annoy environmental stupidity, towns and cities all over the US are banning what are called “single use” plastic grocery bags (which my family re-uses for all kinds of things so single use is misleading). The Los Angels California bag ban was what caught my attention–and Lord knows if those moon-bats are on board with it something must be wrong; and there was, or actually is something very wrong. See “What could go wrong?“, ‘Reusable bags spread norovirus’, and “Reusable bags may be worse for the Environment.”
Unfortunately, most of the discussion about bag bans is one-sided. Or should I say left-sided.
The uneducated masses are just taking the left-wing meme about landfills, sea-creatures, evil plastic, and their apocalyptic trash-mageddon, and accepting all that deception without a thought –just the way the enviro-leftists like it. No one is talking about whether the alternative might actually be worse (which it is) and southern Texas is no different. Several municipalities near McAllen have fallen for the scam as well, but for the moment the mayor of McAllen isn’t all that interested. He’s fine with discussing it, and thinks education is a good idea, but he’s not wasting any time to make it a priority of his city government to tell people what they can and can’t carry their groceries around in.
So I took time out of my very busy day to help “educate” the people of McAllen about the problems with plastic bag bans. I dropped a link into the discussion at the Brownsville Herald web page–Brownsville already has a ban in place if I am not mistaken–that will embolden opponents of the ban and is certain to send a few liberals off the reservation….but hey, that’s what I’m here for.
