Yet more mother-knows-best meddling over the rest of society. I wonder if there are any health ramifications, like the deadly plastic bag ban in San Francisco?
Brookline is banning plastic bags and styrofoam. Both of which, by the way, can be more friendly for the environment than their alternatives.

Michigan bar owners are banning state lawmakers from their bars, in protest of the lawmakers’ ban on smoking. Nice.

To the Democrats. Heck, if you’re not a Democratic Politician they think you’re still a child.
The Obama administration is moving to ban some 80% of knives.
