Idiots like Rocky Anderson put the alleged concept of “global warming” above the safety and health of firefighters. I knew Anderson was wrong on many fronts, but this is a new low. And it figures that Newsom would join this bandwagon as well.

So! The Glitterati finally come to their senses!

I read that this generation of kids is having less benifit from fluroide in the water because...they aren't drinking tap water! The people who complain that gas is too expensive at $3,00 a gallon are willing to pay 24$ a gallon for imported water...but have finally decided to stop being snobs not because it's stupid, but because it's "for the children!"

Bottled water is bad, so switch to sports drinks.

But oh no, sports drinks contain sugars and will make people fat. Switch to sugar-free.

But oh no, sugar-free drinks have cancer risks. Switch to bottled water.

But oh no, bottled water is bad, so switch to sports drinks.

Rinse and repeat as necessary since liberalism is a mental disorder.

...a refillable 10-ounce container ...

That's smaller than a standard soda can.

And this is for guys (in non-gender-specific sense, of course) who, at times, can be sweating well beyond "profusely".

...the production of the bottle is contributing to global warming, which is melting those snowcaps and those glaciers.

People actually believe this. Bottling water melts snowcaps. The whole thing has gone from annoying to entertaining.

For YEARS I’ve heard the argument from these same people how bottled water was oh so much purer and safer and how it came from Europe now they have changed their tune by now saying bottled water is untest and top it off by spinning global warming into.

What color is the sky in their world?

Bottled water is bad for young children. I just came back from my dentist who told me there is no fluoridation in bottled water and without it kids get more cavities.

Minor point, maybe, but not if you have young children.

Finally, after all these years of getting mine out of a hole in the back yard, I’m politically correct.

This legislation has been brought to you by BritaTM filtration systems. Why buy bottled water, when you can get clean great tasting water from home?

Only liberals drink bottled water.
My daughter’s fiance is a dentist.
He once commented to me that there are two types of people he can always spot. Vegetarians and bottled water people. Both get far more cavities and have substantially more dental problems than meat eaters who drink municipal tap water. The vegetarians are mostly calcium deficient and the bottled water people do not benefit from fluorides added to tap water by the various water treatment plants.

Well they are partially right. Water Vapor is the biggest greenhouse gas in existence, it contributes about 90% of all heat reflection in the atmosphere, 80% of it in the 30 feet closest to the surface.... C02, which wackos want you to believe is a major player contributes infantecimilly small amounts (hundreths of a percent) to light/heat reflection, and has ZERO impact on temperatures.

But they can’t stop industry and capitalism by claiming evaporation is the problem... so, your SUV gets blamed.

The energy used to package and transport imported bottled water contributes to global warming.

Shiite man. By the same logic, the energy used to produce and transport ethanol for addition to gasoline contributes to global warming. But I don't hear the watermelons screaming about that.

Besides, I'm still waiting for the proof that supports their claims that global warming is homogenic.

You know it just figures -

when it was only a select few (elites in their own minds) drinking bottled water, it was OK,

but now that the masses are doing it, the frickin’ elitist leftists try to use government force to stop it.

Whoa! They've gone too far when they upset the Perrier crowd.

Their going to lose a lot of Perrier-drinking liberals that would rather drop their support for 'Global Warming' than give up their 'special' water.

On a side note, it appears that most of the bottled water in the stores isn't quite what it's cracked up to be.

The only kind I ever pick up is spring water (from a local set of springs on the Econfina river less than thirty miles from here) distributed by the local Culligan franchise. Unlike every other bottled water on the shelf, I know exactly where this comes from.

Side note #2: Our Gulf of Mexico water temp offshore a few miles from Panama City, FL. rose above 82 degrees today......it should be about 87 degrees this time of the year (as it has in the past) and it is a fairly large heat reservoir. You may notice the hurricane predictions being downsized, based partially on this.

While it is, IMO, stupid to pay for filtered water, spring water is great. Many places have tap water that is just plain undrinkable. With a filter on your tap, in MOST cases, it becomes drinkable.

Spring water, on the other hand is great, and tastes great! If these nanny state nazi’s want to remove it because of the packaging, they should simply encourage the recycling of it. Problem solved.

I have a well, so no fluoride anyway, but additionally I have a tap filter, and I refill the bottles and throw them in the fridge once they are cleaned. I use them when I walk, or in the car.

It seems like over a matter of a few months this has gone from a somewhat annoying discussion to a huge push in the media with ad campaigns and tie-ins from everything from insurance to electricity.

Who the hell is behind this big push?

What sort of legislative porking is waiting in the wings for us once the stupidity demographic is well massaged?
