[sdiy] The Dreaded ROHS

Tue Feb 17 01:31:04 CET 2009

HEY!  That's my scam!! .  If a person could do a tour ( perhaps 
promoting a *global un-scentive package* )where they eat a lot of really 
bad food and the people they are trying to encourage to increase their 
affluence get to *experience* the result.... a subtle hint that eating 
better might decrease one's personal methane output could also increase 
donations by 100- 1000 fold!...according...to my worst stench scenario 
calculations....
