I have been drinking this stuff since whenever. I may die tomorrow. I may die in ten years. Or twenty. Neither of my parents lived past their mid Seventies, and I am approaching that. I guess if I get past that, I will have beaten some kind of odds.
I am sick of living in a country of pussies that are so afraid of germs, peanuts, sunlight, mosquitoes, ticks, climate change...water, that they want to regulate everything to the point we won’t be able to move.
I don’t know how people can live their lives like frightened rabbits. I find it disgusting and pathetic.
A human in a hermetically sealed bubble is a safe human, but that is not what humans are for.
Or people like me just decide not to drink polluted water. There's choices to be made.
That’s fine.
Filter your water. Distill it yourself. De-ionize it yourself. Store it and drink it in glass containers. Treat it with bleach. Boil it.
Drink it or not.
Get hit by a bus tomorrow or don’t.
I am sick of the bloody fear mongering in every single aspect of every corner of life.
