Liberals Shun Hygiene

[From article]
the latest leftist initiative to turn us against our nature occurred in California last month, when the democratically elected hegemony banned (after first demonizing) all single-use plastic bags. That an overwhelming majority of Californians oppose the ban is beside the point. Such is the arrogance of tyrants, petite and grand.
[. . .]
The left counters, “Yes, but banning plastic bags will significantly reduce energy use and waste.” For argument's sake, let's say it's true (it isn't). It's still a non sequitur.
Banning anything will reduce energy use and another person's definition of “waste.” If we really want to reduce energy use and waste, let's ban refrigerators larger than 10 cubic feet, homes larger than 1,000 square feet, automobiles with more than 150 horsepower engines. Better yet, let's ban refrigerators, traditional stick homes, and automobiles. Bury your food, live in a mud hut, ride the horse to work. There's no limit to the ways energy use and waste can be reduced. And if you want to go all in, if you are truly serious about the cause, simply die. There's nothing more outside dying you can do to reduce energy use and waste.
Because too few Californians were stupid enough to fall for sophistry, sophistry was legislated from above.
Of course, an intellectual movement favoring filth is nothing new. Many towns and municipalities have long required their citizens to separate glass, plastic, and paper and set them aside in clearly marked bins.
[. . .]
Such is the trajectory when a country is populated by people with too much time, too little common sense, and too many governmental avenues to impose their will.
