Paper, Plastic, or Shop Elsewhere

The nanny city acts again:

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Los Angeles shoppers soon won't hear the question, "Paper or plastic?" at the checkout line.

The City Council voted Tuesday to ban plastic shopping bags from stores, beginning July 1, 2010. Shoppers can either bring their own bags or pay 25 cents for a paper bag.

Or, those people who live near the city limits will simply leave the city and shop in neighboring communities. That's what I'd do.
