No.

If Harrier had a problem with a store, he would demonstrate his displeasure by simply not shopping there.

That is the beauty of freedom - a store owner can choose to offer as many or as less free services as they wish, and a customer may choose to patronize that store, or go somewhere else.

Let me know when liberals understand that basic tenant of free enterprise and liberty - instead of quashing it(Yes Harrier knows that he ended a sentence with a pronoun. Sue him).

Very odd that San Francisco County of all places effectively prevents homeless people from accessing plastic bags in which to carry their stuff.

Los Angeles County still allows plastic bags - which demonstrates that we care more about the needs of our homeless population.

Have some compassion, will ya?
So your care for the homeless ends at plastic bags? Why not make cloth bags free, wouldn't that also help the homeless?

So you aren't upset when a store only offers one option, as long as it is the option you want. I thought you were for freedom, shouldn't you be demanding that stores offer options so that you have the freedom of choice?

Harrier cares for the homeless in myriad of ways, which he will not describe here.

Pursuant to biblical principle, Harrier does not promote his good works, nor will he use anyone who he assists for political purposes.

Why - so more people can become sick and die?

But you did just promote your works through the support of plastic bags for homeless people....yet you haven't promoted free cloth bags for homeless people which would be more durable.

Harrier has the freedom to shop at another store, as do you.

Harrier demands nothing - he isn't a liberal.

Nope - Harrier advocated for plastic bags to be kept in circulation for the use of homeless people(on an online forum subsection read by a rather small segment of the population - though it meets City Data's financial needs, nonetheless).

Only in liberal la-la land would that be considered a "work".

Why only plastic bags? Why not more durable bags?

Read the opening post of this thread and also educate yourself on the ability of homeless people to maintain acceptable sanitary standards for their bags.

Many can, but do you really want homeless people to spend money on washing bags that have the potential to otherwise kill them?

Get serious, think logically, and quit spouting nonsense.

Sheesh...
