Take Their Water

A certain breed of politicians permeates the Democratic party today. They are the type that feel that the people they represent are so inept that for their own good, these wise politicians need to make all the decisions. This new breed of Democrat puts the nanny in nanny state. They were talking about how we peons are being exploited by the bad, old bottled water pushers. Why, do we realize there's water in them there bottles? Not magic, not super pure glacial melt meant to make you live to one hundred and twenty. Not runoff from Ponce de Leon's fountain of youth-just in some cases, plain unembellished municipal tap water. There is a sound reason to drink bottled water-portability. In areas where no water fountains are nearby, you look like less of an idiot with your little plastic bottle than with your army surplus o.d. canteen, your old lunch box thermos, or your camel back hydration pack. Yes, I would love to walk through the mall with my old boy scout canteen or maybe my old fabric covered Western trail canteen while wearing a Resistol or Stetson. These do-gooder dictators are out to limit choice, to take your choice away when it comes to everything but abortion on demand. There you have a choice, but in every other aspect of your life (except euthanasia, they push that too), this scourge wants to tell you where to live, how to live, how much you may pollute, what doctor you may see, what treatment you are permitted to receive, what light bulb you can use, what low flow toilet you must use, what car you drive, now right down to the water you drink. They are your benevolent masters and you're just too dumb to appreciate them.
