A female panelist from India complained that the flush toilet encourages excessive water consumption around the world and is not ecologically friendly.

My boss was telling me about somebody he knows who yearned to go to India after seeing the beautiful pictures of the country in travel magazines.

She and her husband did go and returned with the most horrible stories of open, raw sewers and a constant, pervasive stench throughout the entire city they visited. She told me of how street children will crouch right out in the open and defecate then be cleaned by dogs.

If this is what this woman from India thinks is the best way to live, she already has it available. She needs to leave her nice, comfortable house with its indoor plumbing in the country and go live in places where what she is advocating for the entire world already exists. Why can't these people live in their own primordial, primitive, filthy environment that their "delegates" seem to love so much and leave the rest of us alone? If their way is so superior, I'm sure America will catch on someday and have open sewers of our very own running through the middle of our towns and cities.

If what they're aiming for is to bring America down to their substandard level of living, they will have a huge fight on their hands. Better to just keep on destroying the third world and leave us alone.

"She told me" should be "she told him". Sheesh.

As The Old Brigadier used to say "Indja! Beautiful country, but smelly!"
