Pumps' Perplexities

Even after some 20 years or so you still hear the question,
"Paper or plastic?" asked by the packing clerk at a
supermarket check out line......

San Francisco wants to prohibit the use of plastic grocery
bags in its city and use paper (biodegradable) ones......
It seems that plastic bags are made from fossil fuels,
aka, oil or coal and effect "landfills", aka, "dumps".

Am I crazy? Don't I remember a time we were told to
"Save a tree" and use plastic grocery bags in stead of
paper ones.......

It seems that every generation of "thinkers" does not
bother to research any history of the previous
generation........It appears that every twenty years or
so we get a new "NOW" generation........

Other examples are 2000 Global Warming vs. 1975's
Ice Age........Or Protect Wild Birds vs. Build Wind
Turbines (which kills birds) for an alternate energy
source.......

The "NOW" generation just never seems happy....
They must have a problem......Pumps
