   Not properly composting is a far more egregious offense than say a criminal immigrant machine gunning a family down at an intersection.

   As I’m fond of saying, you libertarian types might not like social conservatives minding what you do in your bedroom or what you grow in your basement. But the mandate for the Left’s police state extends to every room in your house, and everywhere outside it.

   Liberal Fascism, woohoo!

   HA! I must say I fell for this hook line a sinker.

   W.T.Heck $1000 fine for improper garbage placement? Shouldn’t these SF’ers all be fined for placing garbage in the House and Senate (not to mention the politico’s in their local gooberment)?

   I hate to think, then, what he’ll do if you’re caught throwing toilet paper in with the newspaper.

   Does this mean San Fran-sissy-co residents can now leave their doors unlocked at night and leave the keys in their new Corvettes?

    ROFL

    I want to see a troll defend this garbage, pun intended.

    How is this anything other than just complete stupidity, when there are other problems to be tackled.

    You can bet the arugula farm that there are other things that need addressing that are more important than seperating their coffee grounds from the newspaper.

    If SF wants to elect and reelect a mayor as fraudulent as Gavin Newsom and watch their city fall apart, that’s their prerogative.

    But now Newsom has been caught exporting his deadly policies to other communities, even resulting in the murder of three family members returning home from a picnic. And Newsom refuses to meet with the widow and mother (Danielle Bologna) of those who his asinine policy helped murder?

    If I was a member of the Bologna family, I would be saying, “fair game” just about now.

    The only ‘separation of trash’ that needs to be done should take place on election day…. and that means separating what you’ll throw out from those you’ll recycle.

    You forget that San Francisco is the Temple of Environmentalism. Protecting the Goddess Mother Earth at all cost is their greatest sacrament. The Sacred Cow is infinitely more important than human life.

    It’s absurd, garbage men have not been properly trained to enforce Federal recycling laws. All this does is divert our local garbage men from performing their much needed jobs of collecting garbage from our streets. Now comes this Mayor who wants to “deputize” our garbage men into Federal agents and do the job and enforce Federal Composting laws that Washington should be doing. All this shows us is that we need Comprehensive Recycling and Composting Reform now!!!

    it seems that it is only the coastal areas in California that suffer from this type of stupidity. living in the desert (known as the red side of the state), it makes me sick to think this guy will run for governor and has the potential of winning or lucky us Ex-Gov/Mayor/Atty General Brown (lifer politician) will try to run again. Not much difference between those two.

    But, some how the lefties out number the red side of this state and we have to put up with this stupidity. When are the voters of California going to finally rid themselves of this mess?

    Sodom and Gomorrah have The USSR San Francisco just gets astonishingly more ridiculous by the day. As a US city, they can be as free as they want; but freedom from Dumpster Diving Big Brother (DDBB) isn’t a right, it’s a privilege, and San Franciscans no longer have the privelege. I don’t need to point out who would make a good DDBB employee, do I? (See comment #25 for a hint.)

    And if residents or businesses don’t separate the coffee grounds from the newspapers, they would face fines of up to $1,000 and eventually could have their garbage service stopped.

    Aaah! Don’t you just love the smell of Liberal Fascism in the morning!

    But surely they have an exemption for poor illegal aliens, because a $1,000 fine for coffee grinds would be…, well, grinding the face of the poor.

    If they stop garbage service, how does that save the earth or teach kids to recycle? Before long, the entire city of San Francisco would become a garbage heap. Wait, how long has this rule been in affect?

    at our house in Michigan, I would compost for my garden only because it was cheap and easy.. coffee grounds, apple cores, banana peels.. egg shells.

    but the fines on recycling?

    if anything, that would force more people to throw things away en mass..

    easy way out of this..

    leave a couple of cold pops sitting on top of the garbage pails when the guys come by to pick it all up..

    doubt they would care if about pizza crust and wine bottles then..

    if not sure pop would work, up the ante with a cold beer or two..

    Sonny, why do you think I have been voting Republican most of my life? The idea is to keep the government the heck out of my life as much as possible. The Democrats intend to run it in detail. The Republican evangelicals merely want to run my bedroom. (Over my cold dead body.)

    Now with Obama we have a real danger of a theocracy taking over the US as he falters with the defense of the country thing. I am hoping that the Republicans do not give in to the Evangelicals invading my person and home with their attempts at micromanaging my life. If they do – I give up. Until then I hold back the mild revulsion and vote for McCain come November.

    (I’ve had an evangelical Christian mess up my life once already. That is more than enough.)

    “You can get anything you want at Alices’ Restaurant…”

    Arlo Guthrie

    From Wiki:
    “On that Thanksgiving, November 25, 1965, the 18-year-old Guthrie and his friend Richard Robbins, 19, were arrested by Officer William “Obie” Obanhein for illegally dumping some of Alice’s garbage after discovering that the dump was closed for the holiday. Two days later they pleaded guilty in court before a blind judge, James E. Hannon; the song describes to ironic effect the arresting officer’s frustration at the judge being unable to see the “27 8-by-10 color glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us”. In the end, Guthrie and Robbins were fined $50 and told to pick up their garbage.”

    Re: comment #42 —

    The irony in your statement is that global warming causes earthquakes, or so I’ve read. Google it. Better yet, don’t bother, because we all know it’s true. It’s just, ehh…common…sense…isn’t it?
