Now if only a burger place would open in Toluca...Read More /sarcasm Wake me when there's a place that's actually special, like Masa of Echo Park instead of a copy/paste of an over-hyped press release...

He's a broke lame-ass immoral piece of crap. All these years he stole from the public and he'sRead More broke? Guess all those junkets we paid for just didn't cut it But he's always got the democratic national convention where he called for a vote on religion, saw the vote not going his way, and over-ruled it via the lying manipulative piece of crap he is You deserve this PUKE if you support his continuing role in governming for he doesn't govern- he doesn't know how to Just ask his x-wife and kids about his moral fiber and moral character- he's "amoral" and that's scarier than immoral FU Villar

This is why it's so important that registered voters, vote! Tying voter registration to jury duty,Read More in my opinion keeps too many people from registering. We can use a different means to pick juries. I'd like to have elections tied to registered voters. In other words if less than 50% of registered voters vote in any election than that election is null & void. Than close down the Government that the election is tied to until a new election is held. I'd bet that only happens a couple of times before people get off their rear ends and vote! California is in the condition it's in due directly to voter apathy. Everyone thinks California is hard core Liberal. Nothing farther from the truth. If the populace actually voted you'd find California is a centrist right leaning group of hard working individuals. I'm just as guilty as the next person for skipping voting opportunities. No longer, I'll vote till the day I'm either to old and mentally impaired or dead. Villaraigosa, is exactly what we deserved for failing to vote. Hell, look at the new corrupt fool elected as Mayor. I don't live in L.A. County and I'm curious as to the voter turn out which from what I heard was dismal.

The point is not that the plastic bags end up in land fills. The point is that the plastic bags endRead More up in our trees, in our parks, in gigantic ocean aggregations and in the bellies of aquatic wildlife.

In reply to Daniel Brin, I respect your point of view, and I agree 100% that the carelessRead More abandonment of plastic grocery bags (and any and all trash) is a blight and a danger to wildlife. But may I ask, in exactly what way, are plastic bags more of a blight or more damaging than other waste and byproducts which are not being banned? I took special care to watch the shoulder and shrubbery along Hwy 118 between Moorpark and Somis just now at lunchtime. I saw very few grocery bags, but I saw thousands of cigarette butts, liquor cans & bottles (despite CRV values and such), and I also saw magazines, junk mail, boxes & containers, shoes, socks, a television set, and many, may tire bits and car parts, oil slicks, and more than I could even dream of. I even saw a beer keg with the tap still in it. So I ask again; how are the bags different from any other form of litter? And since we already have CRV on bottles and cans, and e-waste tax on TVs, how is it that these items are in front of me on Hwy 118 as opposed to being in a recycling plant, where the grocery bags are promised to end up under the new law?
Daniel Brin June 18, 2013 at 03:15 pm
The answer to your question is simple, Charles. Without those CRVs, e-waste deposits, etc. -- thatRead More is, if we did nothing -- our waste problems would be much worse than they are. You'd be seeing much, much more trash on the 118. And it would stay there longer, because there'd be no financial incentive for scavengers to eventually visit the area. I shouldn't have to remind you how bad it was in the 1950s and '60s, when our streets and highways were strewn with abandoned cans, bottles, caps and tabs.
