Great moments in dealing with human waste spot the human story.
In Crete, at Knossos, an elaborate sewerage was built, perhaps the first in human history.
The ancient Israelites, in wartime, carried spears with shovels on the blunt end, to bury their feces so that the Lord would not walk on defiled ground.
Romans placed public toilets at street side, with toilet holes separated by mere inches: citizens and denizens, male and female, would hitch up their togas and go, talking to their neighbors all the while.
And one reason we shake with the right hand is that — before toilet paper — the left hand was traditionally for wiping.
Hence in modern times, people associated with the "left" are usually, shall we say "crappy" people, with opinions that normally "stink" and can be relied upon to try and splatter others with their rank verbiage.

Problem is there are half us US voters that believe the garbage the left continues to spew forth. Until we as a nation can look back and examine with honesty and knowledge what are the best courses to take, whether it is issues on industry verse clean air/water, price of drugs, oil, you name it, and what type government we truly prefer, liberal/socialistic verse conservative, and all peoples with a deep understanding of all the issues and what they really represent for our well being as individuals and a nation constitute, we are always going to be in a bind when it comes to electing our leaders. To many people, it seems more and more, are totally ignorant in the ways of politics, governement as it operates, industry and commerce as it operates, etc.. So how can we ever hope to win a comfortable lead from a party standpoint? How do you try to educate some poor minority for instance that has grown up in a slum, knows nothing about anything of substance other then what they are told they require for survival how to become educated in world history and how it affects their very lives?
If the majority of Americans had a good picture of what has happened for the past few hundred years alone world wide, and a decent idea as to the vast differences between the left and right truly are and at the same time put their trust more in God then in what their country should supply them with,...........whew.....verbosity..........
woke up.........then perhaps we could stem the tide of ultra liberalism sweeping this land for the past thirty some years. Of course the bag of bones and his cohorts and
the L/MSM will never let this scenario develop. It would be an end to them. You must have the have nots in the flesh as well as the spirit and mind in mass to pull off what they often manage to do. Yes of course one must also throw in the vast numbers of liberal coached college grads etc., to keep the equation on their side.
Sad world taint it folks.
