More liberal hypocrisy on display. The little libs at the ultimate bastion of liberalism (except maybe for UC Berkeley, Harvard and Yale) are battling the very same rules that have been imposed on the rest of us by previous generations of liberal twits who wrote government regs. They always know what's best for the rest of us, but don't want to abide by the same rules themselves.

And for the one wondering about mandatory lights-out hour -- obviously you haven't been following the AGW debates. First we will have mandatory switching of our light bulbs, and, when that doesn't effect enough change, we will have mandatory "carbon rationing." Which is another way of saying mandatory "lights out." Only across the entire country, not just at the university. Get ready, young lib, to live in the new world of limited and rationed energy being created by your classmates.

The little libs at the ultimate bastion of liberalism (except maybe for UC Berkeley, Harvard and Yale) are battling the very same rules...that we are.

This is a good EKG report for the heartbeat of liberty in America. Celebrate it.

The students should protest by leaving the showheads running after they leave. Use more water than before the ‘eco friendly’ shower heads were installed.

QUESTION:

How big a disconnect can you have before a leftist sees it?

[DBrow]

How unenterprising.

Take the bad showerheads and pawn them, or put them on Craigslist, then buy the ones you want.

In the less expensive hotels I have stayed at, the kind with the shower down the hall, the shower heads were always gone. The manager said that they were stolen on a regular basis. hard to imagine a market for hot shower heads, but there it is.

I bought these shower heads at Home Depot that blast the water out but use less of it due to the smaller holes. It even touts a “Navy Shower” button that you can push when you’re lathering up. I sometimes have to clean the mineral deposits out but I love them.

[NRA1995]

Well, they’re at least bathing; more than you can say for their hippie parents and grandparents!

Officials now promise to retrofit hundreds of showers with politically incorrect, higher-pressure nozzles.

A student with a drill and maybe a pipe wrench should fix the problem without the university having to spend a year to fix the problem.

One stressed-out student worried about time management: "This translates into more time spent in the shower. Does everyone really have all those extra minutes?"

More than time manangement, do the longer shower times counteract the water savings. Much like having a 1.6 gallon toilet requiring two flushes to get the job done compared to the "Wasteful" 3.5 gallon one.

They could offset their increased usage by making the students at U of AZ and UNLV use the water saving heads. After all, CA is entitled to almost all the water west of the Continental Divide, right?

some vegan freak who should move to Russia rather than pollute American soil with his communist ideas

Hahahahaha!

"Listen, we care about the environment. We've often said that water conservation is a good thing. But -- you have to realize -- when we said that, we meant that people in other states ought to be conserving water. Sheesh!"

[Southerngl]

How is lower water pressure saving water when you have to shower 10 extra minutes to rinse?

[mrmargaritaville]

I’ve got a connection and can get them shower heads from the former Yugoslavia-those Serbs are fanatics about their showers. (Seinfeld reference for the uninformed).

[mikey_hates_everything]

That little plastic part is the first thing in the trash when I get a new shower head. It would take less than 5 minutes each with an adjustable wrench. Easier than a protest.

[Malsua]

Had something similar at the Shangri-La in Hong Kong. I had a confirmed reservation, but they were out of rooms except for this premiere suite so I got it at the standard room rate. The shower felt like a car wash, it was awesome. HUGE shower, enough room for easily 5-6 people.

[Rb ver. 2.0]

I recommend the Commando 450 shower head.

[CORedneck]

My parents house had one of those low flow shower-heads. They sucked ! You had to wait quite a while before hot water comes out and then there was a long delay when you tried to adjust the temperature. F***en annoying !

When I got my basement finished which included a shower, all you can find are the low flow shower heads. The shower head that was put on had the flow restrictor inside and after the inspection got finished, I took the restrictor out. It has nice flow now and being close to the hot water heater, it warms up quickly. I use that shower everyday !

[Leisler]

Shower? What’s a shower?

[TexGuy]

Install your own shower head! ... What liberal morons! ... Oh, they don't know how to install a shower head? Well I guess they will trail the rest of the herd and get eaten by the Cheetahs and Lions.

[Emperor Palpatine]

I’m shocked.

You mean hippies actually BATHE????

[Hacklehead]

The envirals should be forced to use solar power to heat their showers. They would quickly change their tune.
