Now this is what I'm talking about folks. You've heard my various rants concerning politics. Perhaps this is a step in the right direction. First, if you don't have a toilet in your home, don't bother contesting elections in India. Secondly, if Rep. Singh has anything to say about it, you might as well not even run for office if you've got no in-house toilet. If you don't know what I'm talkin about, check out this story out of India.

As humorous as this story is, it does bring up an interesting argument. India is a country where 7 out of 10 people don't have access to toilets and, therefore, have to use the bathroom in the streets. Besides this being extremely nasty, 700 million people defecating in the streets and rivers is a major health issue. So I say, why not pressure the government and villages to enable their citizens to get toilets for their homes--while at the same time educating and applying proper pressure on those very citizens to be proactive about the whole matter.

On that note, it's time to make good use of mine.
