According to the Slog, there is a man on Broadway (and likely other men/women stationed elsewhere in the city) who is misleading voters into signing a petition to “get the bag tax initiative on the ballot” by letting them think that the VERY WISE and environmentally imperative initiative to charge 20 cents per plastic bag hasn’t ALREADY PASSED.
Some short-sighted, selfish idiots (who probably live in Bellevue, drive S.U.V.s and regularly vote against Metro) would really like to be able to continue filling landfills and oceans with plastic bags FOR FREE because they can’t be bothered to bring cloth bags to the grocery store or because they are too cheap to buy garbage bags. Their website indicated that you will be charged $300 dollars a year for grocery bags from now on. They don’t mention that this is merely the AVERAGE cost of all the bags you would be buying if you decide to remain an asshole and not carry cloth bags to the store. And of course they play the FAMILY card. Look at all the food they’re denying your FAMILY by charging you for being blissfully unaware about our environment.
They also say that they are just protecting grocery workers who will bear the brunt of customer ire. It’s 20 cents people! You know what makes me angry? It’s not 20 cents. It’s flighty checkers who upsell the pretty lady in the express lane who then has to go get another bottle of wine to get the DEAL while he fetches her cigarettes and the line of people behind us grows. Then the goofball takes forever to ring us up because he’s asking us questions about our cats and can’t do two things at once. But I digress…
So in order to get the signatures necessary to repeal this ALREADY PASSED INITIATIVE, they are being intentionally vague. Let this be a lesson to you about petitions. Always ask follow up questions and KNOW WHAT YOU’RE SIGNING. That is, if you don’t just tend to ignore people with clipboards, as I do.
My Answer: Since I wholeheartedly believe in my own morals I would choose option B. A general live and let live policy adopted by everyone would really mellow this old world out. Only a hypocrite (and an asshole) would want to live in a world in which rules only apply to them. Unfortunately, I think option A is closer to the way the world is already. 
Tarentino is a professional fan boy who has made a career out of copying all the stuff he likes. Fortunately for him, he likes kind of obscure movies so it is a rare bird who will recognize what he has borrowed from. That is probably why he decided to go from plagiarism to straight up remakes. 
Roth is the man who, in conjunction with the “SAW” franchise, helped popularize torture fetish films (Who needs character development or dialog when you can just bleed people slowly for an hour and a half?). Roth is as much of an actor as Tarentino himself. That is to say that he smirks his way through his lines while his more talented cast mates play around his high-school-drama caliber performance. I’m also sure there will be plenty of rambling monologues for everybody. Needless to say, I’m not so much looking forward to this one. 
One additional perk which probably won’t last too long is that the flights were only half full. This means that the chance you’ll have a whole row to yourself is pretty good. I have a feeling this Virgin thing is going to catch on so you’ll probably have neighbors on both sides soon enough. But who cares? Just one of those leather seats is 50 times more comfortable than a whole row of sub-par competitors seats combined.
