Wesley J. Smith comments on the latest demand of the radical (read irrational) environmentalists; namely, the demand to get rid of toilets, "one of the world’s most destructive habits, absorbing 40% of water available for domestic consumption and contaminating everything in its way."Says Smith, "Do these people compete with each other to be the most loony? Modern plumbing has contributed tremendously to the health and well being of society. It has stopped waste-born diseases, cleaned up rivers, and made life infinitely more sanitary -- not to mention the aesthetic improvements of not having a septic pit in back of every home and business. But now, we are told we should go back to outhouses."
