Dasha's Bottled Water Rant
Sep. 3rd, 2003 10:18 amnikki01_11: yum
nikki01_11: you know that's the 1 thing which surprised me about you americans
ladyoftigris: how so?
nikki01_11: you drink so much pop!
ladyoftigris: *laugh* that's because the water is so horrid
ladyoftigris: you can't even drink the water in mexico
nikki01_11: lol
nikki01_11: ours has crap in it...
nikki01_11: but we're pretty used to it lol
ladyoftigris: San Franciscans have the wonderfully elegant Hetchhetchy water, but it doesn't come here. We have recycled groundwater in the tap.
nikki01_11: lol
ladyoftigris: That's my pop theory. It's all about the bad water. We have a filter on our faucet. The only thing the water is good for is bathing in , and even then it leaves mildew everywhere.
ladyoftigris: The water was decent in Salt Lake city growing up, and I drank less pop there
nikki01_11: lol
ladyoftigris: they say 80% of young kids are overweight
ladyoftigris: but they saw the #1 cause of that is they don't drink water, they are always drinking pop
nikki01_11: lol
ladyoftigris: so they are offering bonuses to schools that pull the pop vendors and put in milk and bottledwater vendors
ladyoftigris: Bottledwater is a HUGE industry in california
nikki01_11: see I take a bottle of water everyday to work!
ladyoftigris: because it's really the only viable alternative to pop
nikki01_11: nod
ladyoftigris: it's now very stylish to be going around with bottled water in san francisco
ladyoftigris: and a lot of these big bottled water companies are here in california
nikki01_11: lol
nikki01_11: wow
nikki01_11: nod nod
ladyoftigris: that's because they have all these high mountain rivers with great tasting water.
ladyoftigris: that's where San Francisco gets theres
ladyoftigris: in the 1920s they built a pipeline straight from the mountains to San Francisco
ladyoftigris: Bottledwater right at your tap
nikki01_11: wow!
nikki01_11: lol
ladyoftigris: that's the Hetchhetchy water line
ladyoftigris: Even though the pipeline goes RIGHT THROUGH here, we don't get any.
nikki01_11: not good
ladyoftigris: why bother piping oil? Water is more valuable.
nikki01_11: nod ...
ladyoftigris: the oil is all carried by tankers
ladyoftigris: and then the tankers all crash in the ocean
ladyoftigris: America: Survival of the Richest
ladyoftigris: Taxbreaks for the rich and taxation for the poor!
ladyoftigris: That's the name of the game!
ladyoftigris: And George Porgie Bushie loves to police the world
nikki01_11: grrrrrrrr
ladyoftigris: let's kill off our entire armed forces fighting for oil in lower slabovia
ladyoftigris: while the kneebonians and the elbonians kill us with anthrax
ladyoftigris: and living in a police state where every single person you see is a known terrorist
ladyoftigris: and much be searched by the police at every opportunity.
ladyoftigris: I'm ranting now. I'll stop.
E.T.!
