 I know this is a pretty shitty thing to talk about, and the whole thing stinks, but November 19th is World Toilet Day. Doesn't it get you pissed off to know that roughly 2.5 billion people do not have access to a clean toilet? 1.1 billion defecate, to be polite, in the open in fields and bushes, ditches, roads, or just a plastic bag, hardly consistent with human dignity, as emphasized by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Indeed, in 2010, the United Nations General Assembly declared that sanitation and clean, potable water are human rights. In many countries, girls stay home during their menstruation days because the absence of a safe place to change themselves makes them feel insecure. In places like India, recent research showed that 23% of girls drop out of school altogether when they reach puberty. Now, for every dollar spent on adequate sanitation, the return is fivefold. Lestaria, respiratory, digestive, and airborne illnesses in general, and even increased tourism. Now, just imagine having to take a dump in 45-degree below-weather. Well, actually, I did just that in an outhouse in Alaska, and all that I could think of at the time was wondering how someone with severe constipation, or what is called shy bladder syndrome, basically an inability to pee in other than the confines of one's home, to ever survive. So, get pissed off and give a shit. And next time you give a shit, I mean really give a shit. Let your enthusiasm fill the air and let others know what a gas it is to give a shit for social justice and human rights. Take some action and go to worldtoiletday.org.
