@GodsAutobiography Not really. One works like this > and the other works like this <. I don't have a problem with it assuming gov't is kept out of it. That is hard to do if you are pushing new things into the education system.

@GodsAutobiography Elementary deduction, my dear Watson. There is no law that does not have the threat of force behind it. "Government is not reason, it is not eloquence — it is force" Or you could have reasoned that a question was just a question, or that it was meant for provoking thought.

@JP-sm4cs As I understand it, that arrangement is no longer in place. Nor would that take responsibility off of them if they dump it in the ocean instead of proper recycling.

@GodsAutobiography Then why did they ban straws in CA?

@GodsAutobiography But you said it doesn't require a law. When people say "we need to do something" it usually means they want gov't to do something, which means we get a new law.

@GodsAutobiography So in your mind 10% discounts the 90%. I beg to differ. It is irrelevant that something can be done without gov't if it usually never happens without laws and people begging for new laws.

@GodsAutobiography Apples and oranges. That is different people coming to the same personal choice. I don't find that comparable to a societal call to action.
