Yes, I never understand why yuppies find it necessary to carry a bottle
of water around with them at all times. Must have something to do with
bottle feeding when babies, and they just can't, or won't, grow up. (After
all, "progressive" government will care for them like children.) As for local
water supplies that come out of taps, they're clean. My monthly water bill
and good health testifies to it.
