Has technology dictated the way we must live? The natives were in teepees and earth huts, the homesteaders were in sod houses and dugouts... His camper would look mighty nice to many of our ancestors!

What if all 300,000,000 of us wanted to live without any sanitary sewer facilities? At least when the native americans fouled up an area, they had plenty of room to move to.

yes, it is all about density... and life style plays a significant part too.

One or person or a family using a pit toilet on every 30 or 40 acres is not going to foul up the environment.

And citing a lack of electricity is ridiculous. I'd like to see the ACLU take up his case.

I don't think the story really said what the man does with his poop. If he wants to live without electricity, go for it. I don't think it's out of line for a county to require a residence to prove that it's disposing of sewage properly though. And what does it mean that he's living without water? Is there no well? Does he drink out of a creek or what? Fish pee in there, you know. 😉

THIS WHOLE STORY IS BOGUS BS---ITS HIS LAND, IF HE IS IN GOOD HEALTH WANTS TO BURN CANDLES, DRINK FROM A STREAM OR BOTTLED WATER, COOK ON A HOT PLATE, OR POOP IN A HOLE THATS A LOT BETTER THAN 70 PERCENT OF THE WORLD--IN INDIA, CHINA, INDONESIA, MAYLASIA ETC THEY DRINK, DO THEIR LAUNDRY, CATCH THEIR FOOD, PREPARE THEIR FOOD AND DEFICATE AND URINATE IN THE SAME WATER WHILE THEIR STANDING IN IT !!!! GET REAL

THE TRUTH IS " WE OWN NOTHING"B WITHOUT ALLOIDIAL TITLE WE OWN NOTHING, LAND, WE CAN USE IT AS WE ARE DIRECTED TO BY OTHERS , WE CAN PAY TAXES ON IT AS WE ARE DIRECTED TOO AND WE CAN BUILD SOMETHING ON IT THAT OTHERS DIRECT US TO PROVIDING THAT THE OTHERS WRITE THE RULES AND ALL DURING THE COURSE OF OUR USE AND ENJOYMENT WE ARE WATCHFUL AND ARE FORCED TO BE COMPLIANT TO THE WISHES OF OTHERS--

SURE, WE ARE FREE--MY TUCKUS !!! TDD

The world got by for billions of years without toilets. And really, billions of animals crap and urinate where ever they want, what's the difference?

Let's all just live like they do in Haiti. Wallowing in our own excrement is only natural after all. Modern sanitation is for woosies.

My question is what makes the idiots at the county think that this is any of their business?

Around here If you live in the county area or most small towns, you could tell the attorney, and the sheriff would back you up, to go take a flying @#$# at a rolling doughnut. If the DA insisted the sheriff's office would not serve the notice. He would probably arrest the DA.:-@

You get all that from one guy that wants to live on this 36 acres without plumbing? I think the vast majority of Americans enjoy plumbing, and want to stick with it. It's not likely that this guy starting a new trend. Beside, what's the difference between him and that horse he's got there that probably doesn't use the potty either?
