Watertown, NY, USA . "Public Square" (vintage, date unknown) but the monument is honoring veterans of the American Civil War so the date of the image is late 1800s

'Poo taboo' slows progress on world sanitation, and if i may quote the first paragraph...."Kyoto: Embarrassment and inhibitions over discussing human waste is one of the major obstacles to resolving the global sanitation crisis, experts at the Third World Water Forum have been told.".....good grief....but tradition, superstition, religious belief sometimes can cause major problems....but this one is a real pisser ( yah i know going for the cheap gag again but...oh well) but if i may quote further "Until we can discuss shit and piss without squirming or giggling, we will not resolve this crisis," said Rosemarin. "Everybody's going to be downstream from someone else real soon."....yah but do you really expect to say a line like that without a giggle or in my case a belly laugh......don't get me wrong it is a major problem and one that has to be handled but it must also be one where i would think a sense of humor would be vital,,,,
