The New Rwanda

Got this off MSNBC News blog:

Could these be new laws in tiny Singapore? Plastic bags in the entire country are illegal, as part of the fight to save the environment. Use leads to a fine equal to 10 U.S. dollars. Same fine for smoking or spitting in public. Civil guards in red uniforms carry rifles to enforce the laws.

I think some parts of this law should be imposed here as well.  The environment needs help, and the people need to be urbanized.
