I pee on a tree every single day and have for years. So far, no one has arrested me -- for anything at all.

But, hey, feel free to keep your squeamish "Oh, my god, it's a PEE PEE!!!" attitudes while the world literally goes to hell around you. Cuz: Priorities!

This would seriously not be a problem in Europe. America is weirdly uptight about a lot of things.



Skimming your blog, I see you live in the desert. Well, many Californians do not live in the desert, we live in urban areas where there is a higher population density, and for health and sanitary reasons, we have modern plumbing.

Maintaining standards of public health and sanitation is a priority. Ever hear of cholera? Would you like someone with a drug-resistant strain of gonorrhea urinating near your living space?

And for those of us who are pre-menopausal and not on the pill, well, peeing on a tree is just about unthinkable (not to mention gross) for 3-4 days of every month.
