EUROTRASH SAYS WHAT? The Hague Thinks People Have Too Much Stuff.

Which brings me to this interesting item I got in an email today, and that the city of The Hague itself is just so proud of they are fit to bust a button.

To me, as an American, it’s just one more intrusive, creepy example of the European tendency to want to control every facet of the lives of their citizens.

Of course, they all start out as ‘suggestions,’ gentle scoldings about ‘too much of this or that,’ behavior modification nudges, and a snappy techno-term accompanied by agencies set up by the government, local or otherwise, to show the populace how to follow these lifestyle hints properly.

And the next thing you know, you’re counting toilet paper squares and flushes.

Inevitably, that’s how these things go.

This sounds nosy, but harmless, right?

The proper way to treat a nosy busybody is to slam the door in their face. For a first offense, that is.
