Solo Act
Sheryl Crow is a deep thinker. Apparently, she does some of her best thinking in the same place I do mine, because while she was blogging on her recent biodiesel bus tour she came up with something we can all do to help save the planet:
I have spent the better part of this tour trying to come up with easy ways for us all to become a part of the solution to global warming. Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating. One of my favorites is in the area of forest conservation which we heavily rely on for oxygen. I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don’t want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required.
I’m not even going to speculate how this proposed “limitation” is going to be enforced. Maybe a 5-day registration period for toilet paper or “can cams” throughout the country.
Great, Sheryl, you’ve solved the problem of global warming and spawned an internet explosion of fetish videos.
Some other ideas that in Sheryl’s mind might be “worth investigating” include using magic crystals for energy and having unicorns use their power to grant wishes to stop global warming.

Sheryl Crow is a narsisitic elitist who can take an unrealistic environmental position that is populist and panders to the nonthinking masses and helps her,therefore,professionally and ultimately her pocketbook. Typical of the entertainment industry. So much of the environmental junk that is commonly voiced is potentially so very detramental to the third world poor who can’t survive without cutting down trees and killing animals. The United States has done more to clean up it’s lakes,rivers and air than most any other country in the past 30 years. This was done at the expense of the working man and the down to earth taxpayer and not the likes of Sheryl Crow. It seems to me that one of the main things that has not been cleaned up is Sheryl Crow’s asshole.

Okay, Ray. I’ll give the concert tickets to someone else. *g*
In between brush-back pitches you make some good points - stifling progress hurts the third world poor, U.S. has been an environmental leader on many fronts and, yes, in the end (pun intended) the taxpayers are the ones who pay for this kind of folly.
Hollywood folks tend to have a short attention span. My prediction is that in five years you’ll be able to adopt Madonna’s kid and drive him home in Leonardo DiCaprio’s hybrid car.
