What could possibly make Occupy Los Angeles camps even smellier? If more liberals started using reusable grocery bags when the city bans plastic grocery bags.
Reusable grocery bags can infect people with the norovirus, which yearly hospitalizes 800,000 people and kills another 800, a infectious virus that causes severe vomiting and diarrhea.
