re: I'll Use This When We Lose A War To Japan

"I suspect that the real reason we don't adopt Japanese toilets is the very fact that people are so eager to give reasons not to. We've grown used to the idea that everything good is invented in America. If it wasn't invented here, it must not be worth having, we tell ourselves. "

I stopped reading there. I've... had some experience with oppositional defiance and its argumentative cousins. Also some dealings with jingoism and provincialism. I'm thinking none of these is the case here.

But up until the potties part, the article seemed interesting.

Imagine I here pasted a link to that fancy electronic self-lid-lowering toilet someone linked here or posted about months ago.
