are limited to +/- four degrees F and you would be able to manually
override the changes. During "emergency events" the new setpoints can
be whatever the power authority desires and you would not be able to
alter them."

In other words, the temperature of your home will no longer be yours
and will be overridden by the state of California through its public
and private utility organizations.

All your thermostats are belong to us.

And you find this more reprehensible than say, telling your wife she
has no choice but to carry her baby full term?

Yes.

Do you think your wife would rather have a say in what happens inside
her body or the temperature of her thermostat.

She and I discussed and we agreed. We have two beautiful and intelligent
daughters.

The thermostat idea is a proposal. The other is something your party
would like to impose on all human females.

Do you remember when the low flow toilets became law? Do you know what
everyone crossing the border from Canada into the US had in the trunk of
their cars? The high flow toilets still being manufactured in Canada.

If the thermostat idiocy goes into law you will see a rise in on-line
purchases from out of state retailers of non-big-brothered thermostats.

American Taliban pointing at controlling thermostats as a problem?

Figures.

Do you understand the concepts of freedom and liberty?

I broke the lid on one of my 'high volume' toilets. It cost as much to
replace the lid as it would have cost to buy a whole new low volume
toilet.
Why - supply versus demand.

'Low volume' is an oxymoron for those toilets anyway. They always have
to
be flushed at least twice.

You are not supposed to flush your diapers down the toilet, John. Ask wifey
what to do with them after she changes you.

Good advice, Doug.

That's the most profound statement you've made in several weeks.
