I do strongly favor banning air conditioning in all government buildings here in heat-oppressed Washington, D.C. That would make this town a hardship post again, cut down on the number of people who would want to work for the oppressive federal bureacracy, and keep Congress out of session for the summer months so they would leave us the hell alone! -- Ed Hudgins

Howard Baker recalled that it was his father who told him that all problems with government started in 1936 when they air-conditioned the Capitol. Prior to that Congress would flee Washington's beastly summers for months every year.

There is much wisdom to that observation.

A lot less time to contemplate and pass more B.S. type of laws. Look at the states, those who have part time legislatures have more freedom than states with full-time, professional legislatures such as California.

I agree with Mr. Hudgins.

I second that motion!
