They do love banning stuff. Except Prozac. They need that badly.

Actually, John, that sounds like a great idea. Personally, I am not a big fan of water bottles. They make lots of trash, which ends up in landfills. I am not a big fan of them.

Liberals have spent years working to tax or ban products they deem bad for your health (cigarettes, fast food, etc.) Now they’re going after products they deem bad for the environment. Where does it stop? Nowhere. Because EVERY product in the marketplace leaves an environmental footprint. Once this door is cracked open, all bets are off and every consumer good is fair game for taxes or anything else.

New York City has excellent water quality and is considering placing an additional 10 cent tax on bottled water. The money from which will go towards more public drinking fountains which now are rather scarce. Of course providing water for public use MIGHT be too socialistic for some to swallow.
