    OK. Here is goes: Ironing. I'm against it: -99) It takes time -98) It takes effort -97) It takes energy* -96) Resources are wasted as it needs special equipment* What do you gain? Flat clothes. My suggestion: stop ironing or reduce to doing it only where it prolongs clothes life (e.g. collars) etc. * These effects the environment and/or cost money, you decide which is worse according to your political inclinations.

      Why not just stop wearing clothes altogether?

      I live in northern Europe - exposure is a real possibility plus it is cold & it would damage my ego :).

                  I like ironing. I find the order a few strokes of the iron imposes on otherwise chaotic and ugly cloth quite therapeutic.

                      Your are just increasing entropy, hastening the heat-death of the universe. Really worthwhile for a flat bit'o'cotton?

                        You got the wrong wife. I've trained mine to enjoy ironing so I don't have to. And, yes, I'm for it - she reads this. :)

                                        I agree completely. A few strokes is quite therapeutic. Definitely takes the wrinkles out. ;P Marc

                                          OK. Here is goes: Ironing. I'm against it: -99) It takes time -98) It takes effort -97) It takes energy* -96) Resources are wasted as it needs special equipment* What do you gain? Flat clothes. My suggestion: stop ironing or reduce to doing it only where it prolongs clothes life (e.g. collars) etc. * These effects the environment and/or cost money, you decide which is worse according to your political inclinations.
