So barely woke?

And if you just use your hand what are you?

Yes, my question sucked in both form and content. I am not opposed to plastic bag bans because they are damaging trash and easily done without. Better to use trash that is less damaging even when picking up after your miserable dog that ran out into the landing area to crap. One of the most amazing places to scuba on the planet is the coral triangle in Indonesia. Converging nutrient flows deliver huge amounts of food and also tons of plastic crap. I've made several hundred dives there over several years with some breaks between trips. Towards the end I'd have my pouches filled with crap after an hour or so and was also often distracted by plastic junk in the current behind me. So I watched it getting worse and worse destroying something very much worth saving.

I just opened a pack of metal pick tools I ordered from Amazon. I needed sheers to cut the plastic packaging. Change will come slowly. Companies invest heavily in the packaging machines by purchase or long term contract. Often, they also contract for the plastic feed stock. So they get locked in for long periods of time and it's mostly invisible to consumers. Plastic bags are out there and in the public eye, if not choking a turtle then at least in the gutter along the highway. Low hanging fruit.

Post trump Legal Actions, Including his Enablers

He sounds learned, but I'm not impressed. -
So to Ken and Wendy, so where are you at? Is it just knowing about the process that you enjoy or, well, take a guess.
-
Seriously? Hours? Try seconds and no search engines.

I'm sure I've done more than my share of tree hugging etc. over the years to help out and I've paid a hell of a lot of school taxes for other peoples kids. If we here at home weren't being overwhelmed by Republican Party antics, selfishness, and flat out stupidity and if we didn't have Trump or our openly partisan Supreme Court and if racism, autocracy, the diminution of women's rights, and other complete nonsenses weren't ascendant, then I might still have my cheery, positive attitude about the future. Brent and I diverge in that I do not think this is funny, what liberals or immigrants deserve, or the way it had to be. But until I see something that portends a direction change I'm going with what is.

Look, I am in agreement that humans are warming the planet. But if we believe our own science then we also agree that a small percentage of humanity, our own backyard, sacrificing to not fix the problem is windmill tilting at it's finest. We're just a crappy species plagued by absurd belief systems, it seems to me; like scorpions that kill the turtle before crossing the stream. I don't like thinking this way but more and more I think we are screwed no matter what we try.

How you make sure they're not failing ventures will be tricky. How you explain they won't fail in Mandarin, Bahasa, Farsi and 200 other important languages will be even trickier.
-
And how do you do that? I mean it's easy to say and as good as any other non-solution on offer but when most people didn't give a crap to start with, have been dragged along kicking and screaming since then, how do you persuade them that spending money on a failing venture makes sense from a single, or fraction of a single, lifetime basis?
-
You win.

No, but I also think he enjoys leash jerking albeit with a tad more flair and finesse than others here. Hence, your assertion that the transpiration of those events somehow "kills him" strikes me a simple needling for no reason.
-
Sure.

Thank you Mahatma Gandi. Of course, that's bullshit. You post everywhere on Dizzy with opinions and anything that comes to mind at the moment. You just like it.

Salty? That’s not lately, that’s my default position and I do believe it is a value proposition, generally. I concede that I get after it with some posters who have agendas, especially the religious. You enjoy touching softly, playing the middle ground, and just posting a lot across the many threads for the fun of it. You think me salty, I consider you not especially serious.
-
That's for you to decide, at least here. I'm more of a big picture guy.

Maybe if he's happy someone near him will be happy, too. And then people near those people will be happy and then on and on and on until the whole world is happy. Wouldn't that be nice? And all because some fool on a boat off Panama got annoyed. Damn, Bill, my eyes are getting wet here.

More abrasion therapy by our resident master.

And that makes you happy? It was a failure in the laws writing that allowed for the sale of thicker bags at the store. You really have some strange issues.

An eviction, was it? By the South Carolina Sheriffs Association?
-
Nope, it was the United Confederacy of Libtards heavily supported by the South Carolina Virtue Signaling Corps.
-
Thank you for your learned analysis.
-
Polite inquiry and non-confrontation followed by conceding defeat in the pursuit of comity? Good luck with hoping the best, most interesting arguments will adjust the worldview of the religious. No matter, I yield.

God Lord, what a bunch of sissies. In AZ they're putting through a bill to allow anyone simply hanging out at your house to whack the next trespasser to wander by just on the belief they needed killing. Now that's legislatin'. HB2843P.pdf
