What Will San Francisco Ban Next?
A recently approved law "bans people from sitting or lying on city sidewalks from 7 a.m. until 11 p.m." Guessing this measure is aimed at displacing the homeless. Don't go for a walk there if you feel you might get tired and want a break along the way.

I found the article about sun chips interesting. Those bags are actually quite noisy compared to most bags from what I've noticed. It's kind of interesting how they are changing it for Americans but not Canadians--they cave in to Americans but Canadians have to 'deal with it' -- is that truly because we complain less or because they just have less to lose in Canada?

As far as Snoop Dogg--how do you 'rent a country'? Does that mean he has permission to do anything he wants? I read the article but it didn't really go into specifics. Where do the people go when he's 'rented the country'?
