If you’re tired of the anklebiters whining about your lifestyle “hurting the planet”, this story will give you some small amount of satisfation.
And a grin.
How do you get 6,000 college students whipped up into a lather?
Here’s one way: Secretly install low-flow, eco-shower heads in their dorms over winter break.
The slow drip has triggered a deluge of complaints in bathrooms all over Stanford University. But a compromise may be ending the water wars. Officials now promise to retrofit hundreds of showers with politically incorrect, higher-pressure nozzles.
With a fury normally reserved for the University of California-Berkeley, students complained in an e-mail petition, a letter-writing campaign, a newspaper editorial and meetings with Stanford officials.
“It is like showering under a sink faucet,” said Christian Tom, a junior whose pro-pressure petition in the West Lagunita dorm garnered 50 signatures in just one day. “Are we hunger striking? Of course not. But it’s annoying.”
The debate spread to the Internet, revealing ideological splits.
Leftists accused the school of profiteering – “it’s just a good excuse to save a few bucks” – and demanded a break on their room costs.
To be fair, someone on the other side of the aisle engaged in some red-baiting. But being a good right-winger, he didn’t demand money for his troubles.
Notice how the Global Warming Death Cultists have a cover for everything when it inconveniences their current lifestyle?
An “excuse to save a few bucks”? So now I guess they won’t be complaining about the high cost of furthering their educations anytime soon either?
Nevermind.
