Do you know what's in the water that you drink?

Well, I do!

And it's... a - maz - ing!

They way I see it, why stop with fluoride? Why is dental health more important than mental health? I say let's douse the water supply with Acetycholinesterase inhibitors and a sprinkling of thorazine. Our children will have nice white teeth and maybe they'll stop acting like babboons in the restaurant.

You know that all the vitamins, prescription drugs, illegal drugs and everything else you put in your body comes out through your urine and into the water, right?

do brita and PUR filter pharmies in my water?

I agree with Citizen Ted, but I think we should do a trial run on children between the ages of 14 and 17. After that they start to behave normally again, for the most part. I'll offer up my 15-year-old for the initial trials. She's pretty much abominable right now.

Sub is begging the question. We are in the healthiest time in our history. At least in the developed nations.

Very few localities have had as good a drinking water as we do in the US right now. (Rome pops to mind as the canonical exception. It's water is delicious and has always been so. Damn Romans.)

While this is an issue that must be addressed, fear is not the answer here. Concern, tied together with the willingness to act, is enough.

Water?? Like, outta the toilet?

I've also heard being born comes with a 100% mortality rate.

Because, unlike fluoride, those other chemicals are not essentially free toxic waste byproduct of various industries looking for a nice place to dump them.

Ahh, mercury, finest of the transition metals.

One time on Oprah they a Q&A day (sample question: "How does the internet work?") and one woman stood up to ask if the water that she flushes down the toilet ever touched the water that came out of the sink. This woman was like, 40.

/wonder if any cities still provide fluoride-free water dispensers

This is a repeat from 1995, 96, 97, 98, 99, 2000, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, and 08..

Let's see....my sister was a complete biatch from about 13 to 22. So you'll get your normal daughter back in about 7 years?

Hang in there.


As for water, if you want water that has nothing in it, probably the best bet is a distiller.

It's a Commie conspiracy Mandrake.

I'd have loved to have given her an accurate answer.

"Well, the odds of that are almost zero. However, if your water is drawn from a river source, chances are, you DO have someone else's feces coming in contact with the water you drink."

We might getting closer to the PKD ideal of societally enforced, psychologist aided acid trips on all citizens of a certain age.

bostonowns: do brita and PUR filter pharmies in my water?

No. You need a filter that does reverse osmosis or go to a store where you can fill 5 gallon bottles with filtered water (Culigan, etc). Reverse osmosis gets rid of the pharma waste, mercury, lead and flouride. And flouride IS toxic in the doses we get.

It's not a conspiracy, those are hidden.

True, but the difference in the water in Rome, which was drinkable, but had lead in it, as opposed to almost anywhere else (Paris, London, etc.), which tasted bad and had ALL kinds of deadly organisms in it, is dramatic.

And the water was still used in the other places; just not drunk. Which meant it could still infect you.

But that's a side issue to my main point, which is that we are in a golden age of clean, drinkable water these days.

Mandrake, you can start by making me a drink of grain alcohol and rain water.

Read this book. (new window) It's quite interesting.

You're right. That does look interesting.....

The adverage glass of water you drink from the tap has traveled through seven people before it gets to you.

I dont remember where i heard that, but it doesn't sound unreasonable to me. And I dont believe that the water treatment comany is going to try filtering out all the stuff we pee out.

Oldiron_79: Mandrake, you can start by making me a drink of grain alcohol and rain water.

That is a slippery slope. Before you know it, you're denying women your essence.

Depends on where the water comes from.

High mountain lakes? Probably not. Aquifers or wells? A bit more likely, depending on a variety of things. Rivers? As I pointed out, that's more likely (and the further you go downstream, the more people have likely urinated in your water).

bostonowns: do brita and PUR filter pharmies in my water?

You fool! Those filters add drugs to the water! They're in on it!

Only a home made high-pressure triple-stage distillation rig will do.
=Smidge=

Drinking water may have all sorts of drugs like lithium and nitroglycerin dumped in. You'd think we'd be an awful lot healthier, wouldn't you?

I like it. I'm not gonna crack.
I miss you. I'm not gonna crack. I love you.
I'm not gonna crack. I kill you. I'm not gonna crack.

(Then you eat a shotgun.)

Heeeeey, El Paso! The city is crazed by lithium.

Well, actually, not crazed. Seriously medicated, it would seem. It's the third-safest city in the US with a population over 500,000, which is saying something compared to the insanity across the river in Ciudad Juarez.

Besides that, lithium-soaked contractors never appear on time to fix your rock wall or put in your new native-plant-landscaping-with-native-fish-koi-pond.

Why are fish ponds so popular among the nouveau-middle class in El Paso, anyway? It's not like you can just go out there and fish a few out and grill them with Hatch chiles.

It's not? The need to call me to build the next pond, then. The kettle bog is the epitome of pond design. With modern equipment, you can get a nice bass pond with the footprint of a store bought one instead of a peaty death trap for Iron Age bean kings.

April 19, 2009 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- The Chicago Tribune is reporting that residents in south suburban Crestwood may have been supplied with tainted drinking water for two decades.

A Tribune investigation found officials were using a contaminated well at least 22 years ago to supply water to Crestwood residents. The well was shut off for good in December 2007 after tests by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.

From years of personal, bipolar experience (not the north and south variety) drugged out on lithium, it's the closest I can imagine to a full frontal lobotomy. No despair, but no joy either. A middle-of-the-road, plodding-along a flat road feeling, without hills or valleys. No desire for even a "two-minute hate, which may have frightened George Orwell.

Left disappointed.

I used to install and work on dialysis water purification systems. The water in most municipalities routinely contains all kinds of crap so they flood it with chlorine which converts to chloramines and renders the water (according to the EPA) safe to drink. That's why tap water tastes flat and bleachy if you local water source is a lake or river. Home reverse osmosis systems are cheap as long as long as you stay with a 3-5 gal/24 hours unit. Install a water softener in front of it for soft feed water and you have great shower and clothing/dishwater plus the RO membrane and carbon filter will last for years. Sears and Culligan try to peddle all kinds of extra cost stuff; look in your local Yellow pages under water treatment and find an independent commercial dealer. Those are the best people to deal with. I bought my system used from a company that services restaurant ice machines and have had great service.

Actually, drug companies are probably just a drop in the bucket. The REAL problem is run-off from farm land, which generally contains high levels of nitrates (fertilizer), pesticides (the alternatives to DDT are massively toxic), and herbicides. Drinking water from farming areas contains high enough levels of pesticides to significantly impact sperm count in men, for instance, and I can only imagine what it's doing to your internal organs.

Drug factories are few, farmland is practically everywhere.
