Dear Jonah,
Greetings from Peace Corps Cameroon! Someone State-side sent me your column (which I read religiously on NRO back in the US -alas now I only see the Internet about twice a month from my provincial capital). Anyway, I would like to say for the record that most people are not drinking their urine here, but instead copious quantities of urine-like tasting palm wine and millet beer. No offense taken, just wanted to clear-up the confusion.

cheers,
