Pig, chicken and cattle feed lots are NOT products of nature, as are
cities. Hell-holes? Sure, but MAN MADE hell-holes.
Again, I DO NOT advocate a return to the Horse and Buggy days, only that, if
the US population were  catagorized and ranked by polution per individual I
am quite certain the Amish would be near or at the bottom of the list while
we of the Vanagon crowd would be a whole lot closer to the SUV owner
catagory than would be comfortable most of us who complain of them.
   Rather like the person who discusses the drug problem with a drink in his
hand, the obese congressman citing the hazards of smoking or the starlet
mourning the plight of the homeless while wearing a million dollars in
diamonds. The words may be correct but there is still something wrong with
this picture.

Just because something is biodegradable doesn't mean it doesn't contain
toxins and isn't harmful over a certain quantity.
Ever been near a pig, chicken, or cattle feed lot? They aren't garden
spots, they are pollution centers and are beginning to be regulated as
such.
Before the auto, cities were stinking, disease laden hell-holes of horse
shit.
