ORIGINAL: Marc2b If the Earth is warming why will we need to use uniforms? Won't we all be able to walk around naked? Actually we could, if society would let us. But remember the textile industry --- those poor folks will lose a tremendous amount of business if there are no clothes to sell. From the cotton pickin' cotton pickers to the seamstresses toiling with bleeding fingers to the clothing outlets and department stores, many people would be put out of work. Just what would they do? Put in for welfare? And where would they carry the check? We are not marsupials, last time I checked. On the other hand, the increased demand for dermatologists, surgeons, chemotherapists, nurses, sun screen manufacturers, umbrella makers, and select other occupations might offset that sudden loss of textile related work. On the other --- errrr --- I'm out of hands. <shrug> Gonna be fun to ride this one out until the next ice age is predicted. Last time that happened was in the '70s, as I remember it.
