Maybe I take this more personal than others because I am from Michigan.

Well I would describe that piece as crap reporting, short on facts heavy on bogus political rhetoric but the issue of privatising water is very real and depending on whether you believe water distribution is best done by private operators in a free market or by public entity you can be either excited or depressed. 30 seconds of google time produced this http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2008-09-29/news/36874065_1_bottled-water-ice-mountain-great-lakes-water which explains a lot more.

Ever see the movie "China Town"?

I had flashbacks of the series "V" back in the 80's.  where a million gallons of water was sucked by space ships every second.

Got another link here from National Geographic http://newswatch.nationalgeographic.com/2013/08/20/where-did-the-water-go-busting-5-myths-about-water-levels-on-the-great-lakes/

I don't know that it is political to talk about water per se but its probably impossible for this thread not to become political.

really like the op wasnt a political thread to begin with :rofl :rofl :rofl.  the news that was posted was a manipulation of a story about a company selling bottled water in china meant to be a political ploy by the current government.

There are several bottling companies that use Municipal water.
It's printed on the bottle label, yet people buy it :rofl
I think one of the companies uses Cleveland, Ohio's City Water :rofl

I have heard some people that I know personally say that they wont drink tap water because "bottled water is better for you".  It says "dallas public water system" on the freakin bottle people!  :bhead
