"While drinking-water shortages plague millions in such places as India and in some African nations, Westerners continue to oppose alternatives to the flushing toilet."

So if I don't flush my toilet, some thirsty Indian or African will get clean drinking water...how?

This reminds me of my Mom - when I was little, she always said, "There are people in India who are starving" every time I wouldn't finish my dinner. I couldn't figure out how my eating all my dinner would save a starving Indian.

That is exactly what I was thinking.
