What next? The shower? Jeez, these people need to get a life.

Why did I know Bill Moyers would be involved in this farse ?

Yes, the shower would be next. When I was in college, I had to take Biology 101, which was primarily an "ecology" course. The professor who taught the course started the harangue on the wasteful ways of the US. He believed that we should scale back on our "amenities", which included how often we showered or bathed. He thought once a week was probably adequate. EEeeeeuw. As a side note, my roommate was in the dental hygiene school, and this professor came in for a cleaning. She said (I know, she shouldn't have told me) his tooth were horrible - it appeared that he rarely brushed, and certainly never flossed. Just doing his part to save the planet by conserving toothpaste and all of that water he'd use in brushing.

Yes, your shower has a flow restrictor in it (that can be removed). The new "low flow" kitchen faucets can't be modified. I can read a chapter in a book while filling up my stock pot to boil spaghetti.

"...these people need to get a life."

...and maybe a full time private industry job. I swear, if these idiots were not overwhelmed with free time...

We should all go s&%t in the weeds, shovel it up and send it to India.

"A female panelist from India complained that the flush toilet encourages excessive water consumption around the world and is not ecologically friendly"

I certainly hope this little lady was staying in a tent with a bucket for a toilet!!
