Applying this axiom to the paper used in a TVA meeting by printing on both sides of the paper floating around would, in fact, cut that paper usage by about one-half.

But the premise that the information printed on one side is worth something must be challenged. As a former bureaucrat (the TVA is after all a federal bureaucratic agency) I know that the proliferation of words inversely relates to their meaning. The more the garbage written the less meaningful it is.

So the solution would be not to cut their use of paper in half, but to ration it to say, 10 percent of the paper they used today and to hope there would be some meat in it. Step one . . .

Right now, TVA is one of my favorite targets and more of what I have written may be found at http://norsworthyopinion.com
