As I drink from my $1.39 bottle of water I am reading this article and asking myself: Is the time of "Mad Max" upon us? Are our worlds water systems so polluted and limited that people are actually being killed over water? Apperantly so!

Keeping in stride with our current global corporate economic domination it seems that there are attempts to privitize the delivery of water in third world countries. I see this as a disaster. We cannot allow water to become a private commodity that is available to all those that can afford it. As this is one of the vital substances to life, it is our responsibility as global citizens to insure free quality water to all.
peace.love.water.recycle.smiles/ralph It's always amazed me how companies can get away with charging so much for water when two thirds of the worlds surface is covered in it. I know it supposed to be cleaner than regular tap water, but how do we really know that it's all that clean? Does anyone know the criteria for bottleing (spelling ???) [alleged] spring water? It would be interesting to know how much pollutants, waste products, foreign matter, or bacteria can be present in the sample to pass the standards.
Go to your nearest food testing lab and ask them to do a mass spectroscopy. If you get huge peaks at 18 grams per mole and virtually nothing else, you have pure water. (We can be reasonably sure of this due to the fact that the water equilibrium constant is something like Kc = 10^49 @ 298K, favoring H20 over H2 + O2.)

Too much like work...I'll just buy a coke 
Yeah I know...that's no good for me either.Hehe, have you ever cleaned you engine with coke? It's especially good for those nasty burrs on the battery posts, or dissolving metal bits that have broken off and are banging around.
When I go on vacation in the smokeys, I drink spring water. I'll just stick with that. (It's funny to think that I'm flushing the toilet with water that would cost $1.25 per liter.) A spring higher up on the mountain fills a large cistern, which feeds the cabin. How often do you get to take a bath in fresh mountain spring water?

$1.25/L, Thats around $25 a flush per 20 L toilets. or $7,300.00 a year. I think I would have spent $73,000.00 a year, Since in my household the average flush is 10 per day. | alkady wrote: |

thats why u should use diff water for toilets ,
where i stay in uae , it is a desert , here water is expensive then oil , i mean u can get 1 litter of oil for 2 dhms , and u get 1 liter of water for 2 dhms , its almost the same ,
but the water we use in the toilets and to take bath is diff , it is sea water , but it is purified so much ,that u can acutally drink it ,
