Look man, I understand. I mean, lives have been lost in countless wars in order to ensure the people of Albuquerque had unfettered access to plastic bags from major retailers. Both of my parents died due to not being able to pay 5p per plastic bag once the plastic bag ban hit the UK, and I'm absolutely certain that your only concern - and, naturally, it is a paramount concern - is for the people of Albuquerque to have free access to plastic bags. Your outrage is not at all motivated by a (some may say pathological) desire to completely blow out of proportion any and all actions taken by people you view as your political opponents and to mindlessly spew conspiratorial nonsense about something that it completely and totally 100% harmless.
No, you are clearly the only reasonable sounding person here. Keep up the good fight! And may Albuquerque's enemies be choked to death on the very plastic bags they seek to impose restrictions on!
