Many of my friends, formerly thrilled with the election of Barack Obama, are now grumbling about his being too nice. They feel he should be fighting back, not compromising his agenda, and that he should play by the rules of the opposition in which anything goes.

This time I’m in complete agreement. As a beardie I’m all in favour. There are important reasons why we should ALL grow beards. 1) Electric razors add to global warming. 2) Beard hair is probably an important store of CO2, which is released into the atmosphere every time a beard is shaved or trimmed. 3) Old fashioned shaving brushes used real badger hair -  badgers are now a protected species. 4) Think of all the plastics that go into razors, and the chemicals that go into shaving foams, aftershave etc.  They could be being used to produce CDs.
