WIPE OUT GLOBAL WARMING: CROW PROPOSES LIMITS ON TOILET PAPER - It’s NOT satire

“Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating. One of my favorites is in the area of forest conservation which we heavily rely on for oxygen. I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don’t want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required. When presenting this idea to my younger brother, who’s judgment I trust implicitly, he proposed taking it one step further. I believe his quote was, “how bout just washing the one square out.” More + pictures: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1821928/posts?page=75#75

Of course, these “early-stage” ideas will require government funding for scientific R&D, but when implemented, will fit right in with what has already been imposed by other brilliant “planet savers”:
“We already have the federal toilet police. ... [Algore’s] primary claim to fame is supervising the federally mandated reduction in toilet tank size. [He] oversaw the federal regulation to reduce toilet flushes to 1.5 gallons. This law forbids the sale of new toilets in the U.S. with larger flush volumes. I remember stories of Americans driving to Canada to buy larger toilets. They smuggled them into the country for new home construction. The imagined savings in water used was quickly lost because Americans must flush several times to try to clean the residue in the bowl left from too small a water volume in the initial flush. Algore became the proud chief of the federal toilet police and that tyranny continues to this day. # 82 posted by NoControllingLegalAuthority
“.. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.” ~ — Robert A. Heinlein
“..For the classical liberal — [[ AKA today’s conservatives - see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_to_Serfdom ]] —, the very task of this life is to transcend and perfect oneself by first mastering oneself. To say that there is not a trace of this attitude in leftism is an understatement, for it is rooted in the opposite premise: that there is no such thing as self-mastery (only “repression”), so you must be controlled by the state, by a powerful collective. ....
Thus, leftism inevitably redounds to a situation in which inferior men rule the superior men, in part because the superior man has no desire to, or interest in, dominating others.
This is the real reason why there are so very few conservatives in politics, because politics draws from people who wish to control others, and a conservative has no desire to exercise this kind of power as a replacement for self-mastery.” [snip] ~ Robert W.
