When Greg, I'm one of those people who think dog droppings are underrated. Did you know that dog dung was a favorite softening agent for Native Americans when making fine leather garments? Wonderful source of enzymes.

I understand your theological leanings... very well. However, without introducing God, there is no real difference between apes and humans (great article in this month's Scientific American about what can only be described as Chimp Culture - never thought to exist - until now). So, yeah, my kids are on a continuum from rock to people, dog dung being slightly above dirt.

Hope you ate breakfast alert!
Speaking of dog dung, one of my friends took a macro photo of a piece of dog doo, molding in his garden (it had some great fuzzy mold fruiting bodies). He said it was so beautiful he had to take a picture of it. The funny thing is that he gets a lot of compliments on the picture. "That is so beautiful! What is it?" He then springs "molding dog feces" on them, and guess what? All that beauty disappears. That is part of the "art". I like it. People's sense of beauty and importance is so capricious. Why should it be suddenly less beautiful because of what it is?
