For that mater pop the lid of the septic tank agitate the contents with a length of pipe and wait for the bubbles, they will come. Light it with a burning rag and watch what happens -- set up a camera and share the fun. Can anyone tell me why our society feels it necessary to purposely fowl our potable water and then leach it back into the aquifer, and then threaten those that do not buy into it. This is neither sustainable or noble. Trina and her family is facing a nightmare, for living in a most noble manner. Is society and its laws best for everyone? Should we all have to live in the city connected to the grid for power, water, phone, sewage? Does it serve us well that all homes must be made from 2x4's,2x6's, 2x8's and stucco? This list should not be a place that Trina, or anyone else should be berated for how they live but given all the help and support that we can. After all, are they not working in the right direction? Ok gang, what can we do to help out these kids? Remember that if they become successful it will make it easier for us all. Brian King cgtbrian at earthlink.net
