Plastics are a good thing. And so are indoor plumbing. Heart surgery. Bottled water. Think about the world without plastic. Or indoor plumbing.
What is the argument against diapers and plastics? Is it because they fill landfills and don't biodegrade? Then you should know that William Rathje of the University of Arizona (the famous Garbology project) actually bothered to dig landfill and see what's filling it up: surprise, surprise. He found that most landfills are packed with paper and not plastic.
And Miguel, we can disagree without resorting to personal attacks (especially on my mom) can't we? Just makes you look bad.
I disagree with you, Jon. Half the world doesn't get diapers because they can't afford them. My mom reared me without diapers because she couldn't buy one - and she did not think it was a happy experience! She got diapers for my younger brother.

Diapers are a good thing, just like antibiotics.
