LANSING, Mich. � Attention smugglers of empty soda cans: Stay 
out of Michigan, or you could face jail time.

Lawmakers are taking aim at people who use out-of-state cans and 
bottles to cash in on Michigan�s recycling refund, which pays 10 
cents per container.

Legislation debated Tuesday would make an attempt to return 
between 100 and 10,000 non-returnable containers punishable by 
up to 93 days in jail or $1,000 in fines, or both. Current law 
sets penalties only for those who actually return fraudulent 
containers.

Angela Madden of the Michigan Beer and Wine Wholesalers 
Association estimates that the state loses up to $13 million a 
year from out-of-state cans.

She says many businesses don�t have the machines that read the 
mark or code that indicates a container is from Michigan.

Are you obligated as an armed civilian, to defend unarmed 
liberals while you are both under fire by foreign agents of the 
outlaw Obama administration?

No.  Shoot the liberals immediately so they can't stab you in 
the back while you are defending yourself, then return a 
controlled rate of aimed fire.  ����
