Rush is completely out of touch

In discussing this story, Rush criticized the idea of forcing customers to pay for bags at the grocery store asking 'how else can people get their groceries out of the store?'

He clearly meant to suggest that the only alternative to the standard grocery store bags is to carry the items in your arms or pockets.

Since Rush totally dismisses environmental protection and/or consciousness as "kook left" ideas, it is not surprising to me that he is unaware of the idea of consumers buying reusable grocery bags of their own.
