European Commissioner Charlie McCreevey is my kind of guy. To make the suggestion that it is helpful for the environment if men don't wear ties to their jobs on warm days (opening their top shirt buttons) to reduce the need for AC shows a high level of creativity and higher level reasoning skills. You would never see this kind of sensible thinking in the US. Good job, Charlie!

I wonder how much tax deduction this "European thinkling" will bring us... :roll:

tee hee, I'm not sure, but you have to admit that his idea is very profound and deserves considerable scrutiny. In academic circles, based on this concept, you would need to establish a committee to deeply analyze this notion, discuss it for several weeks, andtttt perhaps several months later, a judgment would be rendered. Now, see, if more people in leadership positions would think so creatively, just think what a wonderful world this would be. Solving global climate change - one tie at a time!
