Don't forget ducks, seagulls, etc.
To add a little more confusion to the marine water pollution arguments, the

journal SCIENCE (29 Mar. 2002) reported on a study which tracked the

biological sources of fecal bacterial in Virginia watersheds. Only 15% of E.

coli bacteria had a human origin (i.e. septic runoff and boat discharge).
The

remainder came from other animal hosts, the largest contributor being

waterfowl with 32.5% of the total. Similar studies are being carried out in

California, Washington, and Oregon.



Whats next? Diapers for geese? What about whales and everything else in the
ocean? Who's gonna change them?

There are three simple rules for making a smooth return to your slip.
Unfortunately no one knows what they are.

You would like it in your
swimming pool? No? don't dump it in our swimming pool, please.

This is ONLY MY PERSONAL OPINION.

To be consistent then, your opinion should include having a little chat
with all the fish ****ting in your pool, see if you can get them to stop.

What is absolutely mind boggling is that there are people who worry
about that stuff. Anally fixated neurotic paranoia is as sick to the
mind as cholera is to the gut.

Get used to the idea that the top 3 feet of this entire planet is
covered in ****. It is what soil is. Fish ****, bird ****, mammal
**** are all good for you, essential ecological nutrients.

When you eat, what passes through is just not needed or used by your
G.I. tract, it is mainly inert, it is not inherently dangerous,
unless the "donor" is ill with a *pathological* bacterial
infestation, or worms or something. In which case, the afflicted
individual might know and in this day and age, should have emergency
public health assistance easily available, for the betterment of all
of the rest of us. That is what taxation and public health is
supposed to be all about. Public toilets are a big issue right now
in China, where the olympics are bound. Where does a homeless person
go in Noo Yak?

Or is it better to chase the sickos out into the countryside, so
they can die discreetly and fester quietly in a ditch somewhere,
hopefully not too near where the peasants grow our food or draw our
water?

Perhaps some of America's tax slaved military might could be
usefully employed tracking larger sea animals and bombing their
fecal trails with DDT or something? They could contract to get rid
of this offensive chemical.

It is suggested you should take care to ensure that your servants,
close aquaintances and intimate friends are healthy in mind and
body. Beyond that, get over it.

Poo is good for you.

War is dirty, a stupid waste designed to enrich arms dealers alone.

Fuel is a weapon.

Hard to know where to start with this post.

The major component of human faeces is E Coli - that's an intestinal
bacterium.
If much of it gets into the upper digestive tract you are either in
trouble, or in deep trouble.

But I will leave it at that
