Straws, man

San Francisco recently decided to ban plastic straws, based on a phone survey of straw manufacturers from a 9-year-old that somehow determined Americans use 500 million straws a day.
...
San Francisco has been handing out clean needles to addicts since 1993, and residents have been complaining ever since of finding them on bus seats, in clothing, and on the street. While straws have been relegated to the back corners of the restaurant business because of their supposed environmental impact, needles are given out freely and littered throughout the city. When was the last time anyone in San Fran saw a used straw in the gutter?

I understand the whole idea behind "walking and chewing gum", but it seems that some people set the priority at chewing gum.

So, would you say it was a . . . straw poll?

Whatever it was, it was the last straw. Environmentalists say it's the straw that'll break the mammals' back.
