  4. Now I see why we have to buy bottled water, sodas, juice, tea, coffee because the tap water is very unhealthy and unsafe to drink because it’s free. I might get me a Berkey.

  5. Yep,the F(feed drugs to all)DA and E(energy polluters association)PA has done a bang up job to protect the environment!
    Just like the Dept.of(miseducation)Ed has increased the level of education.
    sheesh.

  6. I have got to get off of my ass and build that distiller I have planned.

  7. You mean our drinking water is polluted? When did this happen? (sarcasm)

    • This would explain how the current zombie population came about. They’re drinking municipal water with someone else’s head-meds in it.

  8. Hope my Big Berkey filters all that crap out!
