Nothing compared to the stupid proposal to ban the sale of
non-approved coffee in Berkeley, CA. Approved coffees are
organic, shade-grown or fair trade. If the proposal passes
in November, stores, resturants and cafes that don't comply
are liable for a stiff fine.
In some ways I'm glad I don't live in Berkeley. I do wish I
lived there just so I could vote against this stupid thing.

Holy tempest in a coffee cup, Batman!
I don't particularly have any problem with taxing luxury goods. What I have a problem with is that with truly serious transportation, environmental, social and housing problems looming over Seattle, city councilmembers feel they have the luxury to waste time debating a tax that would raise perhaps as little at $1.8 mil.
