Hey, CB, is the coffee brewed here in your B&G "PC"? From Reason. Bean Bags The left coast coffee justice campaign has spread to America's heartland. A proposal to require coffee sold in localities to be politically correct is on the ballot in Berkeley and is the subject of a petition drive in Iowa City. No surprise: Both towns harbor coffee houses, big universities, and fuzzy-thinking college students. The goal is to effectively outlaw coffee that is grown with pesticides and fertilizers, setting a "community standard" for P.C. java. The proposed Iowa City ordinance would require all brewed coffee sold in town to be from beans that are organic, "fair-trade," shade-grown, or some combination of them all. Violators would risk fines of up to $1,000 or three days in jail. Iowa City Mayor Ernie Lehman is not impressed. "In the total scheme of things, I'm a lot more concerned with what will happen in Iraq than with the coffee we drink in the morning," he said.
