BIG Water

I have not been one for drinking tap water yet at the same time it feels like I am being scamed to buy "BIG Water". Is deregulated water in the forseable future?What's next, pay for air? Oh, year... Oxygen Bars.

Ever seen that Jackie Chan movie about The Tuxedo, where companies are fighting for the sale of water? I want free water. Its just some days my water tastes more like my pipes or more like chlorine than water. And then there's my children and providing them with the best or the fact that I never receive notice on the day the fire department flushes the hydrants. Why do I have to listen to 1010 Wins in the morning to know if my water has been contaminated?

On the other hand, will I die from the tap water? The question reminds me of an old friend who said his sister caught Leukemia from the tap water and died as a result. That story still brings chills down my spine. By the time you find something wrong with water will it be too late? I can almost scare my self into giving up my city's well water. If the water is bad, would it be easier to sue Coca-Cola or an municipality?

Look all I am saying is that we still have some good drinking water left. It has not all turned to wormwood. We can't continue to pollute, dump garbage on the ground-- not caring where it ends up. Here is a link to an article on the Hackensack River. You'll see marvelous pictures of where some of my state's water comes from (tap water) and then where it ends up (I wouldn't gargle with this water). See how the river water by Ridgefield Park, NJ was considered for many years a dead zone for fish and how thousands of oysters are going to be added to the river water by the Meadowlands to clean the water.
