The goals of making laws is for the primary-motive, of grabbing power. Those which are power-grabbers desire big-government for, personal-benefit.

[truthadvocate]

People don't need more laws. In Chicago, from a citizen's perspective, the reason people don't recycle is because they don't trust the city's recycling program. "Put it in a different colored bag and throw it in with the rest of the garbage" Are you kidding? People need a guarantee that their valuable time won't be wasted. Plus global warming has made recycling less trendy. All that gas and energy used to gather and process recyclables. The global warming scam has undermined environmentalism.

Fiji water is awesome.

* The problem is NOT recycling, as Ms. Resnick states, but rather the LACK of recycling! It's astounding to me that this filthy, corporate bimbo (for lack of a juicier term) is allowed to speak in public. What a moron!

* No WONDER so many people make fun of Americans. I was born here and I am ashamed of someone like her. Absolutely pathetic... All of that money and only cotton candy upstairs?? Just. Plain. Sad.

Resnicks drove Franklin Mint to the mass market with low end trendy and some tacky product. They abandoned their long time affluent collectors who bought the higher end stuff. That is what ran them in the ground. I hope the new owners can rebuild it.

@cu29640 and sent 100's of people to the unemployment lines by sending everything overseas. Greedy and money hungry !!

Lynda Resnick is a visionary and self made billionaire. She owned the Franklin Mint and put herself in charge of all creative development. They came up with some brilliant products that used hundreds of thousands in development dollars.
