No, you're just being stubborn to the point of insipidness. Bottom line: the links I provided DOCUMENT their content. If you can logically and factually prove otherwise, then do so. Otherwise, this lame denial tactic of yours is not fooling anyone, and won't warrant a response from me, as I don't waste my time with such childishness.
Oh BS. That's how it used to be done here in America. But....last I checked....Obamacare was passed in the dead of night on Christmas eve, in secret (you have to pass the bill to see what's in it), without a single Republican vote (you know....the party that represents the other half of America?), and against the will of the majority of Americans. Thanks to the radical left and fascist Democratic Party, we no longer have a functioning representative republic.
And government does not require healthcare, procreates via sex, adheres to a religion, etc. Your point?
Dont put the carriage before the horse. - - - Updated - - - Paying taxes = not a right... lol? I dont think you understand right vs services as you are all over the place.
That was the gist of my post. A person can still get free water if they drill a well and treat it themselves.
Not in my city they can't unless they are grandfathered in. You can only drill a new well for non-potable uses like irrigation.
Or if they go down to the public drinking fountain. If the corporations have their way, then all bets are off as to your input into such regulations via your gov't representative....you'd have to be a SHAREHOLDER.
I don't see the problem you're mentioning. Water is virtually everywhere. One need only harvest it. That includes rain, creeks, rivers, oxbows, lakes, etc... Yes, it's a pain but that's the way it is.
There isn't someone there 24/7 in the bushes with a camera, but they will not permit the well unless you can show you need it for that purpose. If your water use drops to zero after you get a well put in, I imagine there will be someone in the bushes with a camera. I have heard that people who tried to get it even for a legitimate purpose were denied because they had ample opportunity to tie into the existing water lines for the volume they needed. They won't make it easy for you because your sewage cost is measured on your water consumption even when the water is not going down the sewer line. It is all about municipal extortion...I mean revenue. People who live in apartments have to pay a garbage fee to the city even though the city does not pick up their garbage because theoretically they could put out Christmas trees by the curb that the city would pick up.
If you don't see the problem in the total corporate takeover of water in America IN SPITE of the Constitution, then it is YOU who have the problem.
Our conversation, the past few posts, hasn't been about a corporate take over but about access to water. I have no problem.
Actually, YOUR conversation has been an effort to IGNORE the implications of the Nestle CEO statements and try and couch the conversation as ONLY about access to water. But as I pointed out at least twice to you, access BY CITIZENS is a right of "the commons" as to be part of the "general welfare" of the country and it's citizenry. This guy has a good take on the issue: http://www.salon.com/2012/02/05/the_privatization_trap/
Because everyone owns land they can drill a well on and has the money to afford the treatment necessary for it to not be toxic.
privatization of water is evil imo if they want to sell water, sell it in bottles, we already know how much they overcharge for those .
Which is what this discussion has been about. Good grief. - - - Updated - - - But you and I both know that the chances of it being toxic is virtually nil. In other words non-existent.
It never ceases to amaze me that progressives can even wipe their own behinds with a modicum of competence. After all, they can't imagine a world in which an enlightened bureaucrat employed by the All Holy State doesn't explain to them what is good food and what is bad food.
A silly statement on your part, as there is NO guarantee that any water one may find on their property in any part of the USA is drinkable. Case in point: my parents home had well water for a short time....good for the plants, not for the people.
I think your head wound is affecting your cognitive reasoning, Kenny....because your little tirade here ignorantly denies what is and has been the historical benefits of federal guidelines for all 50 states regarding food and water. I strongly urge you to put on your socks and shoes, toddle over to your local library and ask the librarian to guide you to some books as to how and why the FDA (flawed though it may be) came into existence. Oh, and FYI....old Annie sure as hell took advantage of the social benefits she allegedly detested when old age made its debut in her miserable life. Look it up.
The gist is that the water doesn't cost anything except for digging the well which can often be free. Not all water from wells is toxic. In fact most is it is probably as good, if not better, than the chemically infused government water. Bringing water to a boil kills whatever needs to die.
Boiling water does nothing about heavy metals and other inorganic toxins. And no, most people do not have the ability to dig a well as they don't have land on which they can.
