IS OUR WATER CLEAN ENOUGH? |
|
| |
| |
| THE ENVIRONMENTALISTS’ POSITION: |
| “It’s definitely not clean enough. We think industrial CEOs should replace their bottled water with water taken directly from their effluent streams. But we suspect that ‘Dioxin Tea with a Twist of Lemon’ will not become a favorite.” |
|
 |
|
| |
| |
| THE POLLUTERS’ POSITION: |
| “Yes, it’s clean enough. There are no longer any rivers that are actually on fire, and Deep Purple proved that a little ‘Smoke on the Water’ can be a good thing.” |
| |
| THE WATER’S POSITION: |
|
 |
|
| |
| “You’d think I would be very upset about all the toxic industrial waste, the endocrine disrupting chemicals, the pesticide and fertilizer runoff from lawns and farms, the untreated sewage, and all the rest of the pollution that finds its way into me. But, hey, I’m inanimate. So if you bio-reactive water-drinkers don’t care about all that contamination, why should I?” |

"We haven't seen anyone able to walk on water recently, so how polluted can the water be?"

Perhaps you accept the Non-Sequitur Society's position on water pollution: 'Some water contaminants are natural, so man-made contaminants are irrelevant.' If not, you might like to find out just how relevant they are in our

Like a thief in the night,
You stole the love from my world;
And you don't miss your water
'Til your river runs dry;
And you don't miss your lover
'Til they're waving goodbye . . .
"You Donšt Miss Your Water (Till Your River Runs Dry)"
-- song by Richard Hawley . . . from the album Lowedges

Love is thicker than water . . .
You are this dreamer's only dream—
Heaven's angel, devil's daughter . . .
from "(Love Is) Thicker Than Water" by Andy Gibb

Sweaty feet, troubled brow—we're all in the same game, lady.
Life's no bowl of cherries—it's a black-and-white strip cartoon.
I've been warned that you and your friends are crazy,
As from your hearts,
You bare your parts
To the gentlemen who,
While they drool,
Trying to keep cool,
Spill their Scotch and water.

"We've found that frogs are counting the number of chemicals in the water. If you expose them to two chemicals, there's a slight delay in metamorphosis; if you expose them to ten, there's even more of a delay. No single compound will do this."
– Tyrone Hayes, biologist, quoted in Sierra
