Jay Leno: Democratic debate

"During the Democratic debate last week they all talked about conserving energy.
Like keeping the thermostat down in the winter.
Using low energy bulbs. Turning off lights. Using less gas.
It made me realize, my dad was like the first environmentalist.
He would walk around the house yelling, 'turn off those lights!
Turn the heat down!' He was green before his time." -Jay Leno

When I was a boy my mother did the same.
Close the ice box door. (No refrigerator no freezer.)
Except in the winter when outside was the freezer.
Your wasting water. Turn off the lights.
(No such thing as low energy bulbs.)
Heating was a coal stove it had to be banked for an overnight burn.
Most of the time in the winter there was no overnight burn.
Just heavy down blankets known as feather beds.
Although we had a gas stove most of the heavy cooking
was done on and in the oven of the kitchen coal stove.
How long do you think today's global warming green environmental
wackos would last under under these conditions?
