I think that for most people of Weeble's ilk, the issue is not one of
biology but of Freudian psychology. Mean ol' mommy won't let them
poo-poo wherever they want, so they kick up a fuss.

So the facts have pretty much passed you by again?

Consider what human feces is nutrient *for* (other than yourself) and
maybe you'll be able to get a clue.

The problem is not with human feces. They become a problem only when
dropped in huge concentrations, such as when seaside sewage systems
discharge into the seas or when large vessels pump out their holding
tanks all at once, creating large plumes of black water. Small boats
discharging after each use, especially when the feces have been
treated through chlorination or lectrasan do nothing but add nutrients
to the water since the properly set up sanitary system should destroy
bacteria.
