Straws

I'm sure you've heard all the hype about banning straws.  The truth is that the ban is a gigantic nod to the PC crowd.  Because it won't make a difference.  Especially if the new paper straws are wrapped in plastic.  But the real issue is priorities.  It seems that the focus of our friends in the media these days go to the sensational and the easy.  It's easy to report on the straw ban.  It's easy to find "outrage" over no more straws being available.  But meanwhile...the streets of our major cities are littered with drug residue, homeless wander unchecked, and the streets are used as toilets.  But hey...we won't have to worry about straws.
