[Gasification] biodigestion- gassificaiton or incineration

[Dick Gallien]

Great comment and URL Jeff.  I completely agree with both of you.  I have
one tourist cabin, where I removed a commercial composting toilet because of
malfunction and replaced it with an aesthetically pleasing sawdust bucket
toilet, which so totally blew the minds of some tourists, that they
forfeited their deposit check and left.  Others were fascinated, as I left a
copy of Humanure Handbook in the bathroom.  In our out of sight, out of mind
society, most are totally disconnected with the essential organic cycle,
like the Mn. state legislature who are spending millions on the turkey
manure burning plant at Benson, Mn..  Just because corn stalks and crop
"wastes" as they label it, can be gasified, doesn't mean it contributes to a
sustainable process.

This started with Jan's "off topic" post.  A stretched analogy would be a
Gestapo list on "human gassing" and a list member is naive enough to stray
from efficiency of the process to the inhumanity of the process.
