Next question should be "Should the Leader Herald allow its users "Freedon Of Speech" when posting comments online? The leader herald is now blocking the names of illegal drugs and prescription drugs, what is so offensive of presription drugs that you have to block the name? Nothing. All you are doing to blocking the freedom of speech of your users, I do agree some truely offensive words should be blocked by not basic words that people use in conversations when talking about the areas problems, etc.

We donate our returnables to the Boy Scouts so we don't personally take the deposit, but I am glad it promotes recycling.

Oddly worded poll question. Wiktionary**** -> beverage: noun: A liquid to consume, usually excluding water; a drink. So.. if we exclude water, what are we talking here? Milk bottles? Juicy drinks? Moms will really love a deposit like that. Actual bottle shapes? Or are we gonna go with square shapes too? Can I buy a square shaped non-carbonated drink and not get taxed?

Yes! I never knew why they weren't. Water bottles are made of the same plastic that soda bottles are made of. Iced tea cans are made of the same aluminum that soda cans are made of. All can and should be recycled. You don't see many soda cans/bottles laying around but boy you sure see the water bottles everywhere you drive...out the window they go. If they could be turned in for a nickle or whatever people won't toss them aside and litter certainly would be kept down.
