Government Shut Down

Here it is 12:05 a.m., October 1, 2013, and I'm watching TV as Senator Reid reads a declaration to order a partial shut down of the government.  I suggest the first order of business for a shut down of the government is to turn off the lights and air conditioning in all federal government buildings, including the capitol, the White House, and Camp David. . . and not turn them back on until the members of Congress and the president agree to meet and negotiate an equitable solution acceptable to all parties.
