We live in the country and my kids (they are all boys) rarely use the inside toilet, unless it is dinner time or bedtime. when they are outside during the day, my wife catches them using the woods all the time. Does that make my family a bunch of lefty tree huggers like the Earth Summiteers?

No, but you're out in the country. When members of my circle are in the country, it's the same way.
For those of us who live in cities, this would be a huge mess. Sanitation-wise cities would revert back to disease centers. Before decent sanitation, every city had regular epidemics of cholera and legioneers. The flush toilet helped rid us of losing a quarter of the population every few years.

No easier way to potty train a little boy than to teach him to go outside,,,, just like daddy. Of course it helps if you live in the wilderness, like I do. And it takes tons of "retraining" before they go to school.

At least they use the woods. My 5 year old nephew seems to think that grass is all that is required. We have to keep an eye on him at picnics and such. He will just whip it out at go where he stands if we don't remind him not to.

No, but it means that your yard may get mighty smelly.
