Travis, Of all the items in your post I found this interesting: The bathroom:The same 1992 law that gave us those awful low-flush toilets also restricted the amount of water showerheads could use to 2.5 gallons per minute. Some consumers who disliked the resulting weak trickle opted for models with two or more showerheads, each using the maximum 2.5 gallons. But Team Obama has now eliminated this "loophole" by requiring that the total flow must comply with the limit.
I have a friend that is second in command of Public Works in Mainz, Germany (my home town) and they are having HUGE sewer problems because of these low-flow devices which were mandatory there some twenty years prior to the US. It seems that they are not putting enough water down the sewer to ensure that the shit rolled once it hit the larger pipes/ lines. They are now faced with concrete hard shit (embedded with all kinds of "other things" in those almost clogged lines and having to replace almost all of the system... this was started some 4 years ago.. the cost is staggering. -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
