Wow.
Alot of great points…

never really thought about the comparison between how our citys deal with poo vs. pooing in the river while camping. To me, the good thing about pooing on land, whether you dig a hole "ilovealbertabeef" style (cause his wife tells him to) or if you just haul off in a car wash for example, is that it takes a few days or weeks for the material to find its way into the water system and during that whole time it is biodegrading.

It’s a creational norm, one could say… ordained by Christ as part of the salvation of all things. I am quite amazed at how God wired creation to filter itself. If we could somehow manage to resist our barbaric tendancies, humanity could even see glimpses of creational perfection. Jewish Rabbis would call this "olam haba", which translates "life in the world to come".

However, it is but a pipe dream- sketchy at best – to think that we could pull that off,
with the likes of todd@troutlake and eddie defiling our tributaries.
