flowing Latah's landfills with endless numbers of toilets, why not A) Require

toilets to use less water. Creating excessive waste to save water is not

this isn't a naive question. It certainly isn't meant<BR>disingenuously. But
here it is: why is growth important? A town<BR>isn't a corporation, in a
business sense, so we don't have<BR>shareholders to pay or a CEO. Therefore,
what is the benefit of<BR>growth? For myself, Moscow is the perfect size;

anti-growth, if growth means increased congestion and<BR>more crime and more
