So it appears that the average person here has a comfort temperature span of less than 5 degrees! That is flat out scary. Now think of what you would be doing to your kids by keeping them in such a controlled environment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
My daughter is outside everyday except rain/thunderstorms obviously.... I keep the heat around 68.....I understand where you are coming from but I'll be damn if I am goin to sweating my ass off at home too.... Also, if you are truely a conservative then I expect that you A) ride a bike to work or B) take public transportation?
