[quote=PoliticalParalegal;120597]Tadpole. Water has always been free to mankind, and to buy water
is a sign of privatizing the water (make a profit). Paying a water bill
is already enough. So why buy bottled water? I am from the backwoods
of North Carolina, but I live here in Michigan..guess what I booil my
water, and after boiling my water I get the same product that people
pay $1.60 for.

What needs to happen is for us (the baby boomers) to return to
the basics that we grew up with, and that was knowing how to
survive. I still have land in the south, and on that land is a GOD
given water spring (Free water).

I have some inform where there is a pre-paid water card that
costs $9.00 here in the states, and I believe it costs more
around the global. I have that article saved somewhere, but as
soon as I find it I will post it on here.

We will NEVER run out of water, but soon we will not be able
to afford water.[/quote]

Actually just boiling your water does not give you the same quality of distilled bottled water. Nutrients, lead, nitrates and many chemicals are compounded when you boil the water. The steam that rose when you boiled that water, is the release of the water in a pure state. Distilling water is the only suitable means of removing these harmful chemicals and nitrates from your drinking water.


Water throughout many places is privatized already. It depends on which state you live in. Major Wells throughout New Mexico were drilled by privates and this sustains many homes as these people who drilled the wells and own the water rights do profit from their original investments. Idaho, Washington, Oregon water rights were re-adjudicated and people lost rights to water in that process.

In Iowa someone got the bright idea to talk people into doing away with their wells and filling in their wells with solid matter to render them useless. The state paid two hundred dollars to each person willing to do this. Good deal huh? That well fiasco was to insure everyone would pay to recieve rural water that comes from tainted lakes and resevoirs. I say tainted because sewage, animal manurer, oil, pcb's and farm chemicals flow into these public water sources.

These are just a few examples I am sure there are many more. You drink water that comes from whoever lives above you to the North no matter which state you live in.

In my sons fish tank the critters die if I use even filtered tap water in their tank. What does that say for the water in this metropolitan area?

To test your water for nitrates you can you a simple test strip from a pet store. Nitrates contribute to leading causes of cancer. Dung works good for plants but is hell on humans.

Your natural spring water is not necessarily free from lead, high iron content, sulfates....etc... Test it first if you wish to insure that you are drinking quality water.
