As winter passes rory reflects on how frickin' lucky he was to have a frozen toilet seat to sit on while 5760 kids die daily from lack of clean water


This is a scene faced by rory at his winter job site sometimes. When the cold winter wind blows hard the snow infiltrates the shitter vents and frosts the seat that frames the holding tank like some kinda skinny ass broken powdered donut [yeah rory likes to spell donut the redneck way]. rory sez: compadres that frozen seat is pretty plush compared to crappin' out in the woods with a crazy noreaster blowin' snow up one's ass and cruelly chappin' ones balls. And rory really can't complain when he thinks of all the millions of humans whose buttcheeks never feel the luxury of any kind of latrine seat. But, turning serious for a moment, the luxury part isn't really the significant thing here anyway is it, rory?

Hello! More people are dying from diahhrea out there than from lack of hallibushencheney-style oligarmocracy! And one helluvawholelotmorefolks are dyin' from diarrhea than from terrorism.
But there ain't no war on diahhrea. 'cause what that really means is help for poor African people without resources to readily steal and convert into cash. Hey first fuckWad, you think it feels better to expire from diahhrea than it did for the average Iraqi to live under Saddam? But you lyin' sack of runny shit, you really were never about alleviating suffering were you? Most Iraqis had decent water and a shitter before you trashed the place.

"A child dies every 15 seconds from diarrhoeal disease,
attributable mainly to poor water supply and/or sanitation.
443 million schooldays are lost each year from diarrhoeal disease.
Failure to meet the [minimum requirements] on water and sanitation
is costing poor countries US$84bn per year.
36% of Africans have access to an adequate toilet.
19% of women in rural Africa spend more than one hour on every trip to fetch water.
Investments in sanitation can bring a 14-fold return."
quote is from the bbc

Meanwhile the shitsackinchief is more concerned about sending abstinence spouting preachers to Africa than helping with this problem. How 'bout this body count: 5760 children died in the last 24 hours from diarrhea. 3.1 million people die each year from the easily preventible problem of bad sanitation. It's a frickin' holocaust. The Iraqi people need our help more than these kids? Meanwhile, Homeland Security has a frickin' division of Bird Flu? Maybe a hundred people have died from avian flu. Ah, but it's like that West Nile Scam bullshit. It can strike the prick cheneys of the world. It doesn't just take poor African kids. So even if the odds of getting killed by it are totally frickin' slimtonone, the mere possibility, coupled with megapharmas ability to profiteer off of pandemic disaster fantasy mongering means that many more billions than it would take to solve the world's sanitation problem will go down the giant golden dollar shitter, and get flushed into the corporate holding ponds, where the greedy bastards of the world will skim the profits off the surface as if they were golden turds miraculously floating in their backyard pools. The fucked up thing about this: it wouldn't take much jack to solve the problem. But the whitewhores don't want to help. Maybe the abstinence preachin' fuckers figure who the fuck needs birth control when you take out 5760 kids a day with a miserable, easily preventible death?

As the bbc quote notes a little money goes a long frickin' way. Check out:

A lot of Christians give religion a bad name. Their actions are their own worst enemy. Calling themselves religious appears to give them a get out of jail free card for anything they want to do.

Yes, it does suck!

This is INCREDIBLE. And appalling. You just don't hear about this kind of thing in the news, do you?

I guess it's just not entertaining enough for the public. And it doesn't feed anyone's agenda to think about this kind of thing.

Thanks for this reality check!

Your so right. I've ranted so many times about the things we could be doing to really save alot of people. Intelligent things. But it's all in vain I think. These folks arent goo consumers and they have no oil. Therefore there lives are worthless to the likes of Bush and Cheney.

I have witnessed children dying of neglect both here and in foreign countries and I can't stop thinking, this doesn't have to be this way. Great, great post today and thank you.

The first casualty in the 'War on Diarhea" would be Bill O'Reilly, would it not?

Genius, rory. Of course you know that I appreciate the crapper. Mine was a handbuilt 2 holer. Probably a hundred years old or more. but that's neither here nor there.

We love to declare wars on non-existant threats.

yeah graeme ... priorities are very confused ... i can't stop thinkin' about that right now, for some reason

rose: thanks ... it's just good to have a shitter sometimes

pop roger that

gugon ... yeah ... its not much of a "story" death by diarrhea and the term is so often used as a joke ... which makes dying from it even more cruel if you ask me ... that and the fact that prevention is so easy

loc ... yeah ... exactly ... like graeme said ... priorities ...

peacechick ... I am proud to know you ... it doesn't have to be this way ... does it?

Neil ... we still haven't been able to flush rush ... the plumbing is apparently not up to that large of a turd ... so maybe o'reilly is ripe ... well, yeah he's frickin' ripe alright

dog ... thanks ... I figured you'd have special appreciation for the snowy seat given the little bits i've gleaned from your stories of earlier life ... now a handbuilt two holer that's somethin' I haven't seen in awhile ... declarin' war on non-existent threats ... well said

forrest ... oh yeah ... frickin' priorities ... he's gonna be the next terri schiavo for the press maybe ... welcome
