SF leads the way back to the Stone Age!
San Francisco is
experimenting with composting toilets (outhouses) in public places, and will undoubtedly require them in all homes at some point. Greenies do not have a reverse gear or a feedback mechanism. When they start on an idea, they always finish us.
Best part, according to Gaian High Priest Eric Brooks: Hundreds of green jobs.
Funny, I somehow acquired the quaint delusion that modern civilization had proudly eliminated the outhouse and the
honey wagon. Guess I was wrong. Obviously the 'bas outhouse' was unfashionable because it was a simple wooden shack that any peasant could build,
not because it was filthy and disease-ridden. The 'haute outhouse' is highly fashionable because it costs thousands of dollars and requires special EPA-licensed design.
Similarly, the
Luminiferous aether used to be an energy field that any scientifically literate person could understand. Under that guise it was unfashionable, and one form of the theory was definitely disproved. Now it has returned as a much more
selective entity, but this time it's called a Higgs Boson "particle" instead of a field. This Higgs Boson "particle" is a remarkably elite "particle". It can only be understood and observed by a tiny handful of the most highly degreed physicists who command billion-dollar research budgets. This makes the luminiferous aether fashionable again.
