Borepatch: Criminalizing Soda Straws:
There is a proposed bill in the California House that would make it a crime to give a restaurant patron a straw unless the patron specifically requests one. Each instance would be punishable by 6 months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Leaving aside the costs associated with incarceration and the availability of jail space for the offending wait staff, The larger issue is the ongoing criminalization of activities performed by non-criminals regular people everyone.There are more "Second Amendment" allegories in here, but I've used my Bad Pun quota already.

Ban a soda straw and save the planet. //s
What happens if an illegal alien uses a straw in California?
Just this week, San Francisco banned plastic soda straws.
Next is a ban on styrofoam cups and food containers.
