So you think liberals limit others' freedom??!!
I've listened to right wing women whine for years about convenience. Living involves give and take and Western democracy is based on giving up some so-called "rights" in order to guarantee the freedom, safety and health of all.
All those who counter the environmental movement fail to realize that. All those who say This is America, I can do what I want (the mental and emotional two year olds that spew their nonsense here on eons and elsewhere).
When I was a political science major in the late 60s, the principles of western democracy (traditional liberalism) were defined by two sentences: My right to swing my fist ends where your nose begins. When two rights are in conflict, one is not a right.
So, there are jerks and fatsos across the country that have made hanging laundry out to dry illegal.
Track them down! Why should those amoral jerks prevent correct thinking folks from saving money and protecting the environment?
From the article:
Using an electric clothes drier can account for up to 10% of a household's total energy use, and the EPA and other environmental organizations concerned with energy conservation and energy efficiency have been telling people to purchase Energy Star appliances for years. While this is a good idea on paper, many people aren't financially able to simply go out and upgrade to a fancy new washer and dryer. However, they are being told they can't have simple outdoor clotheslines, which are much cheaper and carbon neutral.
Richard Monson, the president of the California Association of Homeowners Associations, told Legal Affairs magazine that a clothesline in a neighborhood can lower property values by 15 percent: "Modern homeowners don't like people's underwear in public. It's just unsightly."
