Whoa! This is another thing I just don't understand. My list now includes:

1. Turn off the a/c when it's hot - too much electricity - conserve it (for later?)
2. Don't water your lawn when there's a drought - uses too much water (which isn't in the system, because there's nothing left to evaporate and turn to rain, except if you watered the lawn and washed the car then that would evaporate, and...)
3. Don't give a fiscal surplus back to the people who paid it in as taxes - conserve it (or they won't give it to us again ???)
4. Don't eat eggs, except now it's ok. (Those who were destined to die of egg induced pipe clogging have already gone.)
5. Eat only Cheerios, except now eat any whole grain. (Like in olden days...when life expectancy was, oh, 35.)
6. Don't eat red meat, except now it's okay if it's lean red meat. (What do hippos, rhinos, elephants, and manatees have in common? They're real fat, and they're vegetarians.)
7. Don't use the internet too much, or you'll use up the bandwidth (and, what? The computer will brown out? You're typing will get real narrow? You'll only be able to see the conservative side of controversial issues? WHAT?!)
