INTRODUCTION OF THE FLUSH TOILET DEPLORED AT EARTH SUMMIT

Johannesburg (CNSNews.com) - In what some see as a sign that the Earth summit is literally going down the drain, an environmentalist at the Earth summit here has lamented the introduction of the flush toilet.

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

The remark prompted an associate of Smith, CEI's Chris Horner, to ponder what alternative the woman would suggest. "Presumably the preferred solution to human waste problems is now abstinence," Horner quipped.

They're right, you know. Population control will be obtained when we banish the flush toilet, (pardon the pun!)Just think of all that good ol' typhoid, dysentery, and other water borne diseases.

Phooey!!!!!
