Even Car Talk is about Sewage these days On car talk this morning, they read a letter from a guy who tried to drive through a flooded street. He stalled and his car got flooded with some raw sewage. As they were consoling the guy on the air, I was thinking that no one questions why, when it floods, we get to take a big bath in our own feces. It has to be some combination of the following:
- It has been happening since the beginning of time and people just accept it, as I should, and learn to appreciate the non-fecal days better.
- It has been happening more recently because municipal stormwater systems have reached their capacity, but people view them as isolated incidents because they don't know any better.
- People don't like to talk about the larger picture because it might make their taxes go up.
- It has always been happening but people are more sensitive to it now because they know a little more about feces than they used to.
