Use some common sense regarding energy
I would like to offer some commonsense solutions to our energy crisis.
I have always thought it was stupid to have to sit at a red light when there are no other cars for miles. A red light could be treated as a stop sign.
There should also be a stop put to the sporting events and other functions that cause people to drive. I am sure Redskins owner Dan Snyder and others like him couldn't care less about what is spent on gas.
I also think that if an ambulance is required, there should not be a huge firetruck sent. They say that is in case the rescue personnel need help in picking up the person. I think it would be better to send a pickup with extra personnel to help pick up someone who is sick or injured.
There should be no half-day school sessions.
I think it is also a shame to see all the downed trees in the parks and on private land that could be cut up and used for firewood instead of lying there rotting.
The lights on the sports fields in the area should not be used, and stores should cut the lights out in some areas.
Though it's great that Cal Ripken and others want to teach kids sports, someone had better teach them how to survive, as times are going to get worse.

as smart as connecting a tube to every American's posterior that captures the methane gas we secretly disperse on occasion...and while we are at it we could do the same for tall the hot air that is expended by some letter writers and commenters here...
