well,you can buy a 7-stage filter setup for yourself if you don;t like it,no?

Hey, maybe I'll throw X dollars away (usually hundreds/thousands) by buying Y product (usually pharaceuticals, beauty medicine, bottled water, inefficient vehicles) that I think I need, but don't really think about because I like to live like a friggin ignorant moron.

All the while espousing phrases like 'America and Americans are great' and other dillussional viewpoints, ad-naseum.

How do people not know this? It says right on the bottle 'purified drinking water'. At least this shit is filtered, compared to some of those 'spring' waters.

I go with the cloud vapor shit with added trace minerals and electrolytes. Then again this whole story is really centered around a reporter who saw Idiocracy and realized that we would be starving in the future because we let the beverage companies take over the water supply.

Really, that's the bigger problem here--not the American public's being duped. Land use rights are one thing, but water rights are not things to have to lose. South America is fucked and lots of other developing areas are being parched dry to make more soda water, and water water.

i never knew the erotic possibilities of aquafina. HAWT!
