Ask not, demand so. - JFK

Bloomberg obviously was impressed by the Nazis and now is emulating them well.
Heil Bloomberg.

Don't like it? Vote for someone else.

Oh wait, none of you actually live in New York.

True, but I mistakenly ate some Picante sauce from there once while staying at a Holiday Inn Express.

I was in NYC last month and was impressed that the city seemed much cleaner than the last time I was there. But the mayor's first focus needs to be to take on the crazy taxicab drivers. Taking a cab from Rockefeller Center to the U.N. Building was the scariest 20 minutes of my life.

For 28 years I lived across the GW bridge in Fort Lee, NJ and my family is still there. The problem with crazy stunts like this is the domino effect it causes; first New York City, then the surrounding areas, and then the entire country.

So eliminating a lot of waste that doesn't break down is a bad thing?

I recently took a cab from LaGuardia to Wall Street, and the cab mostly took surface streets and neighborhood streets. At 60mph.

Remember when McDonald's used to serve nearly all their burgers in Styrofoam boxes?

Now they don't.

Is this really that big of a deal?

Then vote for people wherever you live that won't implement such rules. States' Rights and all that is great until local governments do something you don't like. Love it or leave it, feel free not to come here, until it's something you don't agree with. Especially love it when people who don't live in, vote in, or pay taxes to a particular locality ***** about something going on there. I agree that this, along with the drink size law, are pretty asinine considering the scale of the real problems facing New York and the country at large. However, I don't have anything to do with NYC so why waste my time complaining about it?

So you're OK with the people who work in the styrofoam industry losing their jobs. Nice.

And don't lecture me about the environment when your buddy Al Gore has a personal jet, a huge boat, and a ton of mansions. When he breaks down, so will I.

But you just used 114 words to complain....

I do. They don't listen.

I don't see a problem with styrofoam. Drop it in some acetone and it dissolves in no time flat...
