Many people who buy bottled water pay 240 to 10,000 times the price of tap water ? including ten to fifteen cents per bottle to cover the cost of advertising.
Despite all the current outrage over the price of gasoline, most North American consumers are casually forking over more for bottled water ? about a buck a quart ? than they are for gas.

That aside, Bush, Cheney and company, have been raping the American people ever since they took office.
The wealthiest people get tax breaks, the military industrialists get no-bid contracts, and the oil industry makes out like raped apes. Oh, and let's not forget China and the other countries financing our record deficits (which is probably the greatest security risk to this nation of all).
Who's paying for this? As usual, the average American worker.
Welcome to the Orwellian world of supporting freedom by giving it up in the form of omni-present cameras, government wire-tapping, and data mining.
We can have nukes, but no one else can, because they may use them offensively, even though we are the only country to do so in the history of atomic/nuclear warfare.
Imagine if the Arab/Muslim nations had such weaponry but we did not. Wouldn't we also covet them? It's okay for Israel to have nuclear weapons, but not their Arab neighbors.
Of course, our media tells us we are right and they are wrong. Isn't that what their media tells them as well?
The internet is an amazing thing. Citizens of the world can bypass their corrupt governments to connect with each other on a personal basis, and understand that most people in the world want the same basic things.
Imagine if the people of the world were to harness the power of the internet for the benefit of humanity...don't expect the politicians to do it.
