    but luckily the liberal democrats in Calif are on top it!
    I'm actually ahead of the game, when offered a straw I usually decline and just sip right from the glass....they do wash them don't they? :)

    I am however starting a campaign to eliminate sporks! :)

    Did not know that straws could be made out of all those things.

    Seems to me that when we were kids there were paper straws that were wax coated. Anyone remember those terrible flavor straws?

    I remember the terrible flavor straws. They were awful...

    Our state legislature has a lot of time on their hands. One of their current priorities is abolishing tackle football for players under 15 and heavily regulating high school football to make sure that no one gets hurt.
