Tower, I tend to agree with you a fair amount, but even I think your act is tired…

Sad but true,all in the marketing. I have a water filter on my faucet and the water is way better than bottle. Plus i save about 300 bucks a year.

This is a great strip today! Bottled water is such a rip-off. It may need some government regulation in some peoples’ minds (cuz we don’t really know what’s in that bottle.), but it is so totally uneccessary and greatly adds to our solid waste stream. You are right, halfabug—it’s all in the marketing.

@towerwhatever: Us arrugula chomping liberals all want every chid aborted, all prisoners freed, hate freedom, hate America,and want the hard working rich people to work extra hard to feed us when we don’t feel like working. Talk about a straw-man argument! Your BS is getting pretty old and beyond irritating. You should just keep listening to Rush so that your eyes and your brain can shut down therest of theway.

@stoic567:Don’t give her any ideas!!! They’re already pushing people to stop eating salt for no good reason, now they’ll try to get people to reduce their water intake too.

Excellant !

The strip today is as lame as the comments. Pathetic!

Most bottled water is just “tap” water. New York "tap"water is better quality than bottled water. Yes, some cities, quite a few, have terrible tasting water, but filters are cheaper and more efficient than “bottled”. A friend has to distill his well water to drink it (too much sulfur), and it’s still cheaper than “bottled”. The real damage is the non-reusable plastic (as in OIL) that goes to waste, and landfills, not just the high price of the “water”.

I filter my water at home but, on the road I will get a bottle or two.

@truecanadianliberal: Actually, the evidence that reducing salt affects blood pressure is worthless. It stems from an old experiment where they fed massive amounts of salt to rats (hundreds times more than a human would consume) and declared salt unhealthy when the rats developed hypertention.

I don’t filter my water at all. Bottled water is actually less healthy than tap water because over filtration removes all the minerals water is supposed to be providing you.

More to this point, some people DO get upset when those who want to “live their lives unrestricted” take their dump in OTHER PEOPLE’s drinking water!! Sometimes to be “civilized”, society makes rules so the individual doesn’t destroy everything else on the planet, including themselves, for a little profit. Oh, right, that isn’t the way of the TEA party or “conservative” (what a sick joke use of the word) capitalism (which really ISN’T “capitalism”).

Tiger-striped Mittaines says;You know what I’m going to say…

Michelle Obama: “It would be a good idea for our nation’s youth to eat healthier.”-What all the right-wing crazies hear: “I’m a big scary black woman in charge and I’m a-TAKIN AWAY your CHEESEFRIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
