Back off. Enough is enough. Global warming, mega earthquakes, super tsunamis, rising oceans, kamikaze comets, a growing gap between our haves and have-nots, an oil terminal on the Columbia and now, not enough poop to go around (“Loss of large animal poop hurts planet,” Nov. 5, The Columbian).
Before indoor plumbing, waste thrown from windows could make a stroll a walk on the wild side. My father recalled when wagons pulled by horses turned streets into running sewers. Exhaust from the horseless carriages seemed like perfume.
But cheers. At least the poop shortage has an easy remedy. Run more elections.
