You Can Make The Choice Not To Waste Plastic Shopping Bags!

I've battled the Nanny State over this issue before but I still feel the free market and not legislation by bachelor nannies is the right way to solve the problem of plastic shopping bags not being recycled. You can add Walgreen's to the list of stores that offer shopping bag options for customers. Way to go! And the County of LA joins Heal the Bay in the voluntary Day Without A Bag next Thursday.

Free market alternatives to mandatory bag recycling.

Mayor Sam's Free "Free Market" Lessons

Free "Free Market" lesson for all the lovely readers of Mayor Sam: In America, you can work hard and earn the money for the home you want to live in. If you want something with lots of space and you're willing to pay for it, it's yours. Unfortunately some of your neighbors may not agree and are throwing around terms like "mansionization" and "McMansions." Now you might just do something really dumb and spend your hard earned money on a really ugly big house, but hey, it's your money.

Free "Free Market" lesson number two for the pueblos: Big bogeymen coming to Los Feliz and Leimert Park upgrading properties and raising rents. In primarily African-American Leimert Park, racism rears it's ugly head because - gasp - upwardly mobile Caucasians and Hispanics are taking the place of middle class blacks who moved to the suburbs. Over in Los Feliz Satanic, I mean "corporate" interests are raising rents on the ever successful businesses there, well, uh, because they can. Why can they? More people are interested in starting businesses in Los Feliz than space is available for.

In the old days, these were good things.
