Great work! But I do take issue with two things: the supposed precepts of 1) not flushing a toilet with someone else's unflushed poop in it, and 2) not making any "noises" when relieving oneself. As to the first, that only makes more probable the backlog and ensuing chaos and breakdown of civilization that one is trying to avoid. As for 2) An old Latin precept (from the Salerno school) states "Antiquo more mingens pedit absque pudore," i.e. "According to ancient custom a urinating person passes gas without shame," or more loosely, it's OK to fart and pee at the same time. Now if that's true for peeing, a fortiori one can definitely POOP and pass gas at the same time (and who can control the sound volume of that, esp when sitting on the toilet?)Also, viewers may not realize that Abraham Maslow, described somewhat favorably in the video, is also considered to be the "Father" of the modern "self-improvement" movement, with all the moral relativism, bogus "self-esteem" and "values clarification" teaching, and basically much of the moral anarchy we see in our hurting world. He deserves to be more than just "knee-deep in butt pudding," as poor, innocent Sammy unfortunately found himself here. For more on Maslow, see www.culturewars.com/CultureWars/1999/torches.html, also E. Michael Jones' new book, "The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit and its impact on World History." A lengthy review is at Robert Sungenis' website.) Maslow was never shy in proposing sexual activity as a form of social engineering. By 1967, Maslow was referring to the self-actualization which encounter groups were supposed to bring about as “S. A. stuff,” which had become, in turn, just part of the “Esalen-Dionysian” enterprise. One year before his death, he could now detect in all of these activities the odor of “insanity and death” (May 17, 1969 journal entry).
