A plan
Blog friend Barb the evil genius wrote yesterday about Sheryl Crow's proposal to have us all be restricted to one piece of toilet paper per, uh, sitting. And that we should stop using paper napkins altogether. This brings up some unpleasant images and also raises the issue of laundry, as Barb points out. There'd be lots more laundry especially in households with children. And more laundry would mean more water. Water is one of the commodities in dire straits (last week's flooding to the contrary notwithstanding) so that's not a good idea. And more laundry would also mean more dirty water and soap out in the world which is definitely not a good idea either. And by the way what do suppose she thinks women should use at the 'time of the month'? Rags, like the 'good old days'? Ick. Think of the how smelly and unhygienic that would be, not to mention several steps backwards as far as participating in business, politics, sports, etc. Hmm, perhaps - just perhaps - she hasn't thought this all through....
