Liberty and Freedom Flushed Down the Toilet

Sunday Paper - March 1st, 2009

If the liberals have their way, the toilet paper (tp) above will be considered a luxury item, and perhaps subject to a luxury tax.  The New York Times recently ran an article discussing how millions of trees need to be harvested to keep up with Americans’ obsessive demand for premium tp.


“No forest of any kind should be used to make toilet paper,” said Dr. Allen Hershkowitz, a senior scientist and waste expert with the Natural Resource Defense Council told the Times.

“This is a product that we use for less than three seconds and the ecological consequences of manufacturing it from trees is enormous,” Hershkowitz told the Guardian newspaper, which cited the chemicals used in pulp manufacturing and process of cutting down forests.

“Future generations are going to look at the way we make toilet paper as one of the greatest excesses of our age,” Hershkowitz said. “Making toilet paper from virgin wood is a lot worse than driving Hummers in terms of global warming pollution.”

A FOXNews.com article states:

People from other countries throughout Europe and Latin America are far less picky about what they use to wipe.

I have to agree with this particular statement and find it in no way surprising.  We conservatives use to joke and say the liberals wanted to legislate how we wipe our … .  Now it is no longer a joke.  Liberals like Dr. Hershkowitz will be fine if two-ply toilet paper is banned, they can use The New York Times.
