OMG! They are taking my choices away! You can't asphyxiate someone with tote bags! Damn those environmentalsts!

But the cloth bags can more easily hold stuff like rocks or full cans of food or soda so they're a much better bludgeon. I mean, if it's safety we're after, this ain't the way to go about it.

They can also be soaked with toxins and left lying around to snare the unwary.

Safety? I was thinking kink.

Ah. Yes, it's unfortunately very true that ya can't have much self chokey fun time with a cloth bag. Well, ya can, but not in the same way as plastic ones.

They can also be soaked with toxins and left lying around to snare the unwary.

Also true. They're a menace, I say! A menace!

Takes years to disolve in nature. 5 minutes use 100 years in nature or something.

Do you have any idea how long it takes a rock that someone uses to bludgeon someone to death with to disolve in nature? 10 seconds of use, tens of thousands of years to disolve. We must get rid of all rocks!

Do you realize that the ban covers paper bags as well?

The idea is to use reusable bags to reduce our trash out put.

Then why not allow recycled bags?

Of course since you believe that the Apocalypse is coming to take you to Heaven because you do not like your life, you could care less about what people who aren't delusional will be stucked with.

Bait from Biblically ignorant troll...sighted...not taken...

Indeed. All this means is that people will have to buy their grocery bags and then go buy another set of small plastic bags for trash cans.
