Letter: Valuable time wasted

Americans are the most creative and innovative people on planet Earth, so why are we spending so much time on the bathroom directive? The solution is simple, install a WC-A — Water Closet for All. Anyone can use this bathroom, regardless of your sexual identity, race, color, religion, gender, height, weight, language, intelligence ratio, homeless or soon to be homeless.

This bathroom quagmire is getting so much attention while innocent human beings are being murdered in Baghdad, Kabul, Maiduguri, Brussels, and other places. These problems are not going away in the near future. It’s time to get our heads out of the toilet and figure out how best to save the planet.

As for the bathroom issue, if and only if, we get invaded by friendly Martians, and they demand urinals with three levers, toilets that flush Budweiser, and gold-trimmed bidets, I will draw a line in the mud.
