When I went to post about a meat tax I realized that I was not giving the elites all the credit that they have due. It is entirely possible that they will find a way to tax flatulence. We are battling smart meters for our electricity. We really don’t need the government being able to control every appliance in our house. My new I-Pad has an ap that will let me set it up to run everything. I guess the millennials have no sense of privacy and are trained to let Mommy take care of them. It doesn’t take much of a jump to believe that there could be a required chip in new toilets that would measure the amount of gas being released. Then we could have a government program to retrofit toilets. Only friends of congress need apply for a permit or perhaps they would be reserved for preferred minorities. We are now required to install fire alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. Some are required to have radon sensors in their basements. Why not a methane detector. Think of all the lives it would save. Think about how we could rest easier at night. Ultimately it is for the children, right?
This would be a special problem for older people. We would be targeted and become pariahs in society. We would set off alarms in public places and make the neighbors install huge fans. We might be required to erect airtight tents over our houses.
My mind boggles at the possibilities. I find comfort in knowing it will be for my own good, and of course for the children. I am also wondering if I am getting enough sleep.

Tents over house? Sorta gives new meaning to "greenhouse gases."
