Sometimes you just have to laugh at the priorities… [http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/americas/08/19/mexico.plastic.bag.ban/index.html](http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/americas/08/19/mexico.plastic.bag.ban/index.html) Yes, Mexico City, the city with the worse air pollution in the world, one of the biggest kidnapping businesses in the world, and that little drug war where people are being chopped up and left in the desert every night. But don’t worry, we’re on top of the plastic bag problem. :lol: ---

I hate people who go green. They should also buy pet rocks from me. God I need to capitalize off this somehow. ---

I don’t mind going green, I just laugh when the people doing it are the people who really should be getting their serious issues in order first. If Toronto did this, or even Amherst, I’d have no problem with it. Hell, stuffed in the back of my Expedition are a ton of the reusable bags from Dashes and Wegmans. I just find it funny that a city with the problems Mexico City is facing would bother with something like this. ---

Well I’m sure that the people who decided on this don’t have much if any part in taking care of the drug/crime problems. But it’s still messed up. Either way, if NYS can’t allocate their resources worth a fuck, can you really expect mexico to? ---

And T. Boone Pickens is from Texas! He’s been dropping serious coin on green projects lately. ---

When I see them (smart cars) I instantly think that for some reason I can stiff arm them (out my window), causing them to roll uncontrollably off the road and into a ditch. I only hate going green because it seems the most stupid people in the country are the ones jumping on the “ban wagon” :lol:. Maybe the second most stupid people, as the most stupid people live in trailers and can’t afford to go green. ---
