That is so crazy that here in our state of Washington they are going to start to charge people for every plastic bag that they use to carry out their grocery. It is a good idea, the city makes money and it encourages people to buy bags that you don't just throw away helping the "green" movement run other than take a step at a time!

I’m not too sure how I feel about this mandated charging for bags idea. I’m not a fan of the state telling a business what they will or will not charge for. Why not charge for bags at every business? Or charge companies who use excessive packaging? How about an extra tax on plastic soled shoes? I personally use the reusable bags but that is my choice, and companies should also have that choice... Okay I retract my original statement; I do know how I feel about mandated charging for plastic bags.

So this Guest worker thing is really confusing me. Is the U.S. not complaining because there are not enough jobs? Is our unemployment rate not getting higher and higher? Then why are we willing to hire people from out of the country to come and do work that we ourselves can do? People complain about not having jobs here why wont they go and pick some cherries, apples or asparagus? Go to an orchard, you'll find a job, I guarantee it! There is a workers shortage but there is also a shortage of work? Something is wrong here!

Note to the United States: Get a job and pick some freaking fruit!!!!
