May my opinions gather wind under their wings and fly, perchance to soar.

Be like an outhouse [13+]
A proper outhouse is biodegradable and self-cleaning. At the end so is the Earth and so are we.

There has been an effort in the last century to mechanize everything and eliminate the need for slaves humans.

Here in Montana I share the toilet. *Shock* I realise that this is un-American; but, so be it. One of our local poets is our janitor and I'm thankful for his 14 plus years of cleaning up after me. I do try to not make a mess. *Rolleyes*

In Isan I will clean our toilet if Ponnya doesn't first. He does the wash... so no complaints.

I feel no need for a servant (regardless of gender) to cater to my wants. I also need touch to ground me (gardening use to satisfy my tactile needs).

I also feel no need for a private chauffeur (or Uber) as public transportation suits me, no need to drop off my clothes, no need to order delivery... I like human interaction.

And that's one argument against self-service, self-cleaning, self-centered anything. It eliminates human jobs and reduces us to robotic interactions. It also detaches us from the reality of what goes in one end comes out the other.

Now... about hog factories...
