No. Contaminated water is the true monument of the stupidity of man. Bottled water is just a symptom.

That kind of contamination is survivable. The carcinogenic kind is often less survivable.

Alternate answer "I dont know, it seems the forum is littered with them." :D

that depends on how many people are taking a dump. I think you are overstating the non-contaminations value, that only being true in a small, very very small population

Something the government can get rid of? Tax breaks for the rich.

Actually, I was trying to be sarcastic...given that it appeared to me that you had just "poorly worded" what you were trying to say. Though it's harder to tell, given that you've cut your statements out of your quoting, for some reason.

Let's see, before police...

70% of the military budget, 90% of domestic surveillance programs, the war on drugs (just legalize and tax them all), any project where farmers are subsidized for growing rice in deserts and the like, state-sponsored research being handed out to private companies for them to patent and make obscene amounts of money with, in fact, most subsidies for private enterprises can go.

Yes, I actually meant usually survivable but I think "usually" got lost in the editing process. And given the choice, of a known carcinogen, and drinking water with your dump in it..........

I might take the chances of a cancer cure being developed.
(cue: cancer cure wont be developed because all medical money will be going to lower income people that wont contribute to medical services responses.)
