It is my (albeit limited) understanding that the Gates grants are focused on providing toilets to areas where there previously were none and not on replacing crumbling infrastructure. They're trying to get facilities to the millions of people who have to poop in the bushes because that's all there is.

That's not the issue. The issue is that there are sewage systems that dump raw sewage into rivers. Toilets are more of a nod to human decency than environmental issues.

But if Bill would like to phone me, then I would explain to him that while decency does score high in my books, you can have perfect golden toilets that dump sewage into rivers. In that case I would rather take a veldtie in the bushes.
