Input: Consider Input: in restaurants to offer customers plastic straws without first being asked . Since introducing his bill last week    Democratic Assemblyman Ian Calderon  has been the target of scorn from critics who call  his  proposal " absurd " and an overreach of government . " It really is a reasonable measured approach that I think will make a difference  "  Calderon  told ABC News on Monday about  his  proposed bill . California State Asssembly  He  explained that when  he  sent the proposal to the state legislative rules committee   health and safety code penalties were automatically tacked on   making it a misdemeanor punishable by six months in jail and a $ 1   000 fine for dine - in restaurants caught offering plastic straws without being requested . " I didn ' t actually ask for penalties  " Calderon said . " They were more or less prescribed to my bill by the code section ." But critics immediately jumped on him . Assemblyman Travis Allen   a Republican candidate for governor of California   asked people on his campaign Facebook page to protest the bill by flooding Calderon ' s office with plastic straws . California State Assembly " Instead of tackling the real issues   today ' s California Democrats are more interested in giving jail time to waiters offering their customers the convenience of having a straw  " Allen told ABC News on Monday . " This is one absurd bill   but it highlights how ridiculous the California Democrats have gotten . This is clearly the last straw ." Paul Preston said such laws are the reason he co - founded a movement to break up the state and form a New California   where regulations aren ' t overbearing and discouraging to businesses . " It ' s absolute lunacy  " Preston told ABC News of  Calderon  ' s bill . " They are criminalizing everything we do . It ' s over the top ."  Calderon  brushed off the bashing   saying an estimated 500 million plastic straws are used every day in the United States and most are just used once and discarded .  He  said plastic straws and stirrers were the sixth most common items collected during California Coastal Cleanup Days between 1989 and 2014 . " We need to create awareness around the issue of one - time use of plastic straws and its detrimental effects on our landfills   waterways and oceans  " Calderon said . STOCK PHOTO / Getty Images He said he ' ll work to get the bill ' s language rewritten so that no one fears going to jail or paying hefty fines for handing out plastic straws . He said he expects the bill to reach Gov . Jerry Brown ' s desk for approval in about two months . " Nobody is going to jail   nobody is going to be getting a $ 1   000 fine  " said Calderon   adding that the bill does not affect fast - food restaurants or grocery stores . He said critics like Allen are " grasping at straws " by saying such legislation is hurting businesses in California . " It ' s a ridiculous argument  " he said . Sharokina Shams -- a spokeswoman for the California Restaurant Association   which represents more than 20   000 restaurants in the state -- told ABC News her group is taking a wait - and - see approach on  Calderon  ' s bill . " The association will study the bill ' s potential impacts and consult with its membership before taking an officials stance on the bill  " said Shams   adding that  Calderon  ' s proposal " is preferable to an outright ban on straws ." Matt Davis   a spokesman for the national environmental group Clean Water Action   said Calderon ' s proposal makes sense . " It ' s great he ' s doing it  " Davis told ABC News . " It does reduce the amount of straws that restaurants are giving out and that ' s a good thing ." He said cities such as Alameda   California   have passed local straws - on - request ordinances and that many restaurants have saved money by not having to provide so many straws . He compared it to the plastic shopping bag ban passed by California voters in 2016 or water - on - request ordinances used to combat the state ' s drought   saying people got used to it . In New Jersey   too   local businesses have been participating in an initiative to reduce plastic straw use . And it has dramatically reduced the number of straws the companies are giving out   according to the Montclair Local . A local eatery said it was using about a tenth of the straws it had previously used on a monthly basis   from 6   800 straws to 650   the paper reported . Back in California   Davis said Calderon ' s concerns that plastic straws are fouling up the ocean are real . " There is going to be more plastic in the ocean than there are fish by 2050  " Davis said   citing a study by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation that was presented to the World Economic Forum in 2016 . He said that plastic breaks down into minute particles that fish mistake for food . " I don ' t want plastic in my sushi  " he said .

Input: Consider Input: Watch below as CNN’s  Jake Tapper  badgers a woman — President Trump’s campaign manager  Kellyanne Conway — to publicly denounce a hate-filled supporter who attended a 2016 election rally. (Conway immediately does.) Then  watch as  Jake Tapper  proceeds to publicly scold Conway because Trump did not disavow hate as strongly as  Tapper  believes Trump should disavow hate.
Again  because this point is important  as seen in the video above   the anti-Trump Tapper  does admit that Trump has already disavowed hate and has disavowed those hate-filled supporters who claim to support  him . Nevertheless  the former Democrat operative and Salon contributor  still publicly scolds Conway because  in his own opinion  Trump did not speak out strongly enough.
Additionally   Tapper  frequently presents  himself  as a male feminist  as a champion of women  and does so using  his  Twitter account and last-place CNN show as a platform to broadcast lectures that portray  him  as a hero in defense of women.
With all this in mind  now watch for yourself as  Tapper  remains silent as  his  own audience boos a rape victim:
Watch as  Tapper  remains silent when NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch has her motherhood attacked for the first time:
It has been more than 48 hours since  Tapper  hosted  his  anti-gun town hall  more than 48 hours since  he  stood silent as  his  guests and audience abused a rape survivor and a mother  but  unlike President Trump   he  has yet to denounce the hate that occurred while  he  was ringmaster  or to apologize.
 Tapper  has only offered dissembling excuses for  his  cowardice and lack of chivalry.
 Tapper  is so poisoned by  his  own hate   he  could not even summon the chivalry to defend a rape victim and motherhood  or to apologize and denounce it afterward.

Input: Consider Input: And I did. I was energized. I slept less  felt less tired  and experienced a higher metabolism and a clearer mind. Like Kafka's Hunger Artist  I was reluctant to end my fast  which became easier the longer it continued. Several of my friends were incredulous. How could fasting get easier the longer it went on? I felt  as  Kafka  put it  that I "alone knew ... how easy it was to fast."
Among classic writers  by the way   Kafka  was the most incisive in what  he  said about Big Government. In The Metamorphosis   he  wrote  "Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy." Aptly put.
Was  Kafka  a conservative? I believe  he  was.  His  writing is filled with a defense of the individual and with fearful intimations of the rise of totalitarianism.  His  novels and stories constitute a monumental plea for the freedom of the individual from authoritarianism of all kinds. The Castle is the most compelling anti-authoritarian book of its time. And yes   Kafka  was a vegetarian.
Like  Kafka   I don't fast for weight loss. (Kafka  "possibly an anorexic " did not need to lose weight.) Nor do I fast for ethical reasons. Peter Singer may believe that turkeys have the same rights as humans  but I don't share that belief. There is nothing particularly sinful about roasting a turkey or cooking a ham. I just don't think meat and other animal products are healthy in my particular case.
