    Why not just stop wearing clothes altogether?

    If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
    You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

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

        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.

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

                  I've taken the extra step of actively preventing mine, at least when we're on the same continent.

                    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. :)

                                    You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun

                                      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.

                                          Mate of mine loves ironing. He works away during the week, and if there isn't a big pile of ironing for him Saturday morning he can't relax for the weekend. He watches sport or listens to the radio as he plows through the week's ironing and the week's stressed go with it.
