Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness, and A Toilet

(Beijing, China) The Fourth Session of the World Toilet Summit opened today with delegates from 15 nations attending. According to Jack Sim, founder of World Toilet Organization, a toilet is a basic human right and developing good toilets is now an exciting subject.

Woo! Woo! Toilet excitement!

Pardon me if I don't become energized by the subject. Regarding having a toilet being a basic human right, I think the World Toilet Organization (WTO) should consult with the National Coalition for the Homeless in the U.S. They consider the sidewalk to be a perfectly acceptable toilet, thank you, and get disturbed when laws are passed which prohibit urination and defecation in public. Apparently, in the eyes of the homeless, the world is their toilet. And, if you don't think so, you're 'mean.'
