Enviromental Hysteria~Amazing

Enviromental Hysteria~I saw this on another forum and it was interesting in how easy it is for Enviromental to make things rough for you.

Watch Penn and Teller manage to convince hundreds of leftists to sign a petition to ban water.

There are less-than-intelligent people everywhere. I haven't found one faction that had a corner on the market.

I like the old dihydrogen monoxide gag and Penn and Teller are infamous for this kind of thing. It reminds me a lot of the current hysteria over BPA (that would be the nalgene thing, not the dam thing).

Retailers are pulling products off of the shelf based on some vague evidence that BPA might cause health issues. If you were to take a serious look around you, you wouldn't drink the water coming out of your faucet or the water that comes out of a million plastic bottles. You'd have to remove probably half of the food in the supermarkets as well. There are so many things around us that are tainted with all manner of chemicals, but the media is focused on this one thing and the sheeple are right there with them, "doing the right thing" and pitching out their Nalgene bottles.

i heard canada might ban them too.

Evidently the fda retested them a couple years back and still found no dangers.

But let an inconclusive study be sent out to millions of breastfeeding moms, and it starts an all out panic. pretty nutty.

the sad thing is, a certain percentage of kids are going to have disorders no matter what bottle they use, and those arents are gonna be suing people left and right now.
