On Tuesdays I usually read the online Times Law section. I was about to read what a High Court judge felt about diversity… to improve my mind… but I was distracted by an article entitled “Save world one square at a time and annoy Bush’s brain”. Mind you.. it was a close run thing with another article linked on the same page “Catapult boy is eaten after taunting crocodile in pen.”
According to The Times…“The singer Sheryl Crow opened a new front in the fight on global warming yesterday with a call for people to use only one sheet of toilet paper after each visit.”
Apparently, Ms Crow has just toured the US in a biodiesel powered bus (whatever that is) and made the suggestion on her blog.
Ms Crow is reported as saying : “I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don’t want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required.”
I don’t know why, but it made me want to go to a football match and chuck at least 6 bog rolls onto the pitch – and I do not follow football.
Anyway…. moving on: I read Mrs Justice Dobbs article on diversity in the judiciary – all solid, reasoned stuff, and I remembered that Professor Griffiths was writing about this nearly thirty years ago when I was reading Law. [ Politics of the Judiciary(?) ]
