Things will get worse before they get better

Here in India, people just don't know when they are better off. The conversion from squatting to sitting loos is one such example of regressing in the name of progress.
We had one western sitting type loo and one squat loo in our house which I thought was fair enough, but these 'progressive Talibans' are converting even squat loos to sitting loos.
I call these people progressive Talibans because they brook no arguments, they think the West is always right, and they NEVER look at facts like who has healthier bowels, where is prostate disease concentrated, etc.
God help me with these Talibans.
