Writing about whatever I feel like writing about. I usually write more about what's going on in my head than what's going on in my life. Currently I'm writing a series about looking for a new church and a new experience of Christianity, but I also write about other stuff once in a while.
About Me
- Alex
- I live with my wife and two young kids in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. My parents, my brother, and my sister all live in Edmonton too. I enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and skiing, but I don't mind the indoors either. I work as a process control engineer (one type of chemical engineer). And I am a somewhat evangelical Christian.

Politicized indeed!
However, what these erudite dinosaurs didn't have room in their panelled world to mention is the distribution problem. Economics (often referred to as the science of choice) tells us that both supply and demand of any commodity matter very little in circumstances where the twain cannot meet.
Which is to say, the sparkly-clean potable water in your toilet bowl doesn't magically appear in the gullet of a dehydrated Ethiopian orphan if you choose to poop on your lawn. So don't feel guilty about 'wasting' it.
Also, please don't poop on your lawn.
Good point about distribution. I really didn't feel like my pooping became politicized; the comic just raises some good points about the huge differences in clean water distribution around the world.
