It Strikes Me Funny: I’m attracted to certain arguments re plastic bottles - Part 2

A Letter to the Editor entitled ‘Don’t ban water bottle sales’ by Sandra Aziz [London Free Press] caught my eye recently.

I thought, Hasn’t she got a thermos?

In defense of water in plastic bottles she wrote:

Those who are at public sites for long periods of time in the summer need plenty to drink.

She’s absolutely correct.

Sandra and others require liquids frequently.

Therefore they shouldn’t leave home for a concert etc. until fully prepared.

And if people can buy tickets, select proper clothing, shoes, fix their hair and make-up, pack a cellphone, snack bar and extra tissue (for their favourite tune), and give one last look in the mirror before they walk or drive to an event surely they can manage to fill a large thermos with water or juice.

Will a ban reduce Sandra’s personal choices? Just the opposite.
