    regulated shower heads have been the law for years here. Not only shower heads but shitters as well. New shower heads have regulaters that dramatically reduce the water flow. The same with toilets, new ones significantly reduce the water flow for flushing. Of course that means you flush 3 times instead of once. The shower head rules are bypassed by anyone with a mind. It's simply a matter of taking a pair of needles nosed pliers and pulling out the little plastic restricter. All of this, courtesy of tree huggers. Mike "We ain't stuck on stupid." badass Lt.

        :laugh: Over here its more economics that regulate your shower pressure. Most people have an electric type of power shower. They take cold water and heat it as it passed through the unit. Obviously the higher the pressure you want the more energy it will take to heat the water to the required temperature as it now rapidly passes through the unit. Unless you want to pay loads for a high power system that can heat bucketloads of water in a second with your average unit it tends to be the higher the pressure the colder the shower.:( Jon

        Exactly the same in here. There is lots of water in my country. The thing in the US seems to be more related to scarcity of water. Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons. Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970) Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it. George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950) Patriotism is often an arbitrary veneration of real estate above principles. George Jean Nathan (1882 - 1958) Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)

                  Depends on your perspective, of course, but, yes, shower head regulation is not generally considered part of the right wing agenda.

                    Common misperception by the uneducated. Drought means you have less water than you "normally" get, even a desert can get less than normal. :rolleyes: _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

                          Our right wing government just decided to punish bikers who 'unleash' their bikes. 'Unleashed' bikes are accepted by european regulations but not by french ones. Now, somebody doing that could get a fine of 30,000€ and be jailed for 2 years. Now tell me, do you really believe right wingers better respect individual freedom?

                            Not so much[^]. I suppose solution of the Mises Institute for such a problem is to let the market decides: the ones who can afford it get the water, and the others parch.

                                    Ah, selective memory...must be so convenient! Come on..the first one sold you what would become the states of Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, South and North Dakotas, Minnesota and Montana. The second one was the gravedigger of the Third Republic who the US chose to back till the end of 1942.

                                      Ah, selective memory...must be so convenient! Come on..the first one sold you what would become the states of Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, South and North Dakotas, Minnesota and Montana. The second one was the gravedigger of the Third Republic who the US chose to back till the end of 1942.

                                      Doesn't sound like the behavior of right-wingers to me. What else did they do? "If anything, the West is awash in an epidemic of self-hate crimes." "a civilization that feels guilty for everything it is and does will lack the energy and conviction to defend itself"

                                        Not so much[^]. I suppose solution of the Mises Institute for such a problem is to let the market decides: the ones who can afford it get the water, and the others parch.

                                          Common misperception by the uneducated. Drought means you have less water than you "normally" get, even a desert can get less than normal. :rolleyes: _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.
