Must be a Mass. Democrat thing. They'll probably find a way to tax it to.

There is a lot to be said for natural selection.

mame you. This country would rather make a law for everything so they won't be responsible for anything. This way, instead of taking responsibility for their own stupidity they will have someone to sue.

Big deal. It's the oxygen dihydride that'll kill you, if you breathe too much of it.

I *think* it's a joke, but after perusing the site I confess I'm not sure...

If you back up a level, you find that the content of the site belongs to one W. Earl Allen, a proclaimed Libertarian.

A google search suggests he is for real.

So, I'm thinking that a Libertarian, who is against gun control, hosting the site in question...

Joke?

Have a look at this page: and note the signature at the bottom of the letter to Citibank...

Snip

My cousin worked for a paper mill and somehow, somewhere, somebody discovered that the pH of the drinking water was elevated. A big deal was made of this in the local media, and a city council was convened to address the issue. My cousin, as an engineer, attended this meeting to state the case of the paper company. When he got to the council meeting, there was a crowd of people out front of the council chambers carrying signs and shouting, "NO P-H! NO P-H!"

Apparently, these folks wanted no pH whatsoever in their water (insert ecliptical here).

Also, a friend of mine worked as a dispatcher for a local sherriff's dept and there was a chemical spill, a sulfur compound that happens to be the same stuff they put in natural gas to give it that distictive odor. A sample call to the SD that night: "PR County SD."

"I smell natural gas! There's a gas leak!"

"Actually, ma'am, what you smell is sulfur dioxide (or whatever), a harmless gas. Natural gas is odorless, and that's the stuff they put in it so that you can smell it. Everything's fine, but we appreciate the call."

"No, it smells just like gas!"

How do you argue with that?
