Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Dear EPA, I'm astounded by the very idea that human wastewater, refined or otherwise, could ever garner the label " organic compost " . I personally don't think human fecal matter in and of itself is pure enough to qualify as organic compost. We live in a society that has been brainwashed into consuming all sorts of unnatural things, be it preservatives, pesticides, or artificial foods. Most of the of the chemicals induced through our ignorant eating habits fortunately does exit through our excrement and urine. That waste matter hardly qualifies as natural compost, only that which exclusively consumes organic matter can itself qualify as organic. Let us not forget about the recent scandal related to the cattle industry's desire to feed non-organic foodstuffs to supposedly organic livestock. That didn't work then and this, something far worse, won't work now. Okay so human fecal matter isn't organic, well what about all the household cleaners, battery acid, motor oil, and everything else that winds up in people's toilets? Most of those toxins will never be neutralized, or removed. There are just too many chemicals, mixed in infinite combination, in our wastewater. Only an infinite amount of time, knowledge, and finances could ever resolve that. Since limitless time, money, and knowledge are all things none of us will ever have, wouldn't it be safe to assume that this wastewater will never be " organic " . Waste, garbage, poisonous, refuse, drain sludge, whatever you want to call it, I don't want it on my dinner table. I'm ashamed to live in a society of whores and absent minds that could ever bring such a bill into debate. When it's time to make your decision about this bill think about your grandchildren and how nice it would be if they didn't wind up looking more like the " swamp thing " than your offspring. Regardless of who you are and your actions you have to look everyone in the eye for the rest of your life, don't you want to deserve our smiles, love, and respect? A guilty conscience with an unlimited amount of dollars is still a very unhappy existence, please don't make it your own, please..
