You can thank EU regulations, Chris Lopes. Since April 2004, all pitchforks must have buttons not smaller than 1.25 cm in diameter on the tines, and all torches must be flame-retardant. Bricks (for throwing through windows) must of course be made of closed-cell neoprene foam.

M. Jourdaine: I have been speaking in prose my entire life and didn't know it.
Sergej: I have been green in my house-cleaning my entire life and didn't care.
My favorite line in the story was this: "The cuts, it claims, would help save enough electricity to power 2.3 million homes."
Power them to do what? Sit in the dark? I guess that way they won't see the accumulated dirt.
Whenever I see a product touted as "green" there's only one thing that I know for certain about it; it doesn't work.
Can someone please explain to me how it is that the collective people of Europe are not converging on the EU headquarters with pitchforks and torches?

Sergej, your points are well taken. I'm also guessing that the carbon tax connected with torches puts them beyond the reach of the average European.
