philosophy on winter

My philosophy on Japanese heating. I have figured out why they do not believe in insulation. Consumerism. If they did believe in it all of these following makers would be out of business:

Heaters: airconditioning heaters, kotatsu tables, kerosene, oil, electric, and electric blankets.
Blankets: we have blankets for our kotatsu tables on the floor and the tables. They have to be matching and up on the new winter colors. For the bed, you need at least 12.
Curtains: everyone needs winter curtains to keep the drafts out. Also you have to keep up with the latest colors and must by at least ever 2 years I would think.
Pajamas: You will need the warmest, and new ones every year
Socks, gloves, leggings, leg warmers, and hats. more the better.
Toilet seats: yeah they have heaters on them too
Toilet seat covers: for those who opt out on the heater. I will be investing in one of these this winter. I cannot imagine the toilet seat temp in the February if it is this cold now. I just have ot buy the right one first. A hot pink one is in the trash. Thought it would go good with my bay green color rug. (Don't get me started on some of the colors they decorate with)

You think with all of these heaters, they would be warm. Nope.

I asked my teacher why they didn't have any insulation in the houses. She said because the houses are made for the summer. I thought the insulation would keep the heat in in the winter, and keep the heat out in the summer. DID THEY FORGET ABOUT THE MOST IMPORTANT SEASON? I asked her what she did to get out of bed on a cold morning. She said her husband turns on the heater. Well I told her I needed a husband then. We all know that won't happen anytime soon, so I will have to invest in a timer to start up my heaters.

This weekend I gorged myself with Pizza King amongst great company.
