Aloysius Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 I don't know. on the one hand, it would save a lot of money on septic tanks and extra plumming and would be a great source of fertilizer; on the other hand I suppose it is a tough sell-- modern people are used to gettin rid of the stuff and ignoring it even though it is a valuable agricultural tool that we're basically just throwing away...

Brother Adam Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 why is it 'sick'? I mean, the digestive system of organisms isn't exactly my choice of topic either, but I guess I don't see how it is 'sick' anymore than the fact that we shed skin cells all the time is sick...

Aloysius Posted November 8, 2005 Author Share Posted November 8, 2005 From the day we arrive on the planet, And blinking, step into the sun, there is more to see than can ever be seen more to do than can ever be done there's far too much to take in here more to find than can ever be found with the sun rollin high through the saphire sky keeps great and small on the endless round it's the circle of life and it moves us all... through despair and strife... the faith and love!
