I would like to highlight a few things.

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Although green advocates estimate that diapers account for only between 0.5 to 1.8 percent of landfill space, they nevertheless consider that troubling.

This is what is called belligerent, to put it lightly.

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">"In my mind, diapers became the symbol of the Evil Empire of Western Parenting in which babies must suffer to accommodate the needs of their parents' broken-continuum culture: a controlled, sterile, odorless, wall-to-wall carpeted fortress in which to live with the illusion of dominion over nature," wrote Noelle, on the website livingharmony.com.

okay...I was under the impression that even many "primitive" tribes used some sort of cloth. Even the Native Americans who still used rocks in their weapons used some sort of cloth.

...now that's a lie. Haven't we only existed for 50,000 years?

The article about dry toilets is just nasty.

It's basically a litter box for humans, and it has to be manually emptied out. Whith all the s*** (literally) sittign there, we're talking about huge disease risks.

Weren't cro-magnons nearly the same appearance-wise as homo sapiens?

I heard that if you dressed one up in moden clothing, you couldn't tell them apart from modern humans.

yes, they were the same, appearance-wise, but that doesn't mean we were the same species

and how the **** do you "get in tune" with your baby's colon and bladder? is there some ultrasonic signal sent out by all babies' organs or something?

The minute someone goes into the bog to have a *** and drops it down the pan, FWOOM. Or sound effects to that effect.

Yes, I know that glowing objects can't ignite gases easily, but still, it's bound to happen, even if it was a bunch of vandals. Modoc in Fallout 2, anyone?
