You can't turn your faucet on and get soda,

Yea, actually you can. You just have to spend some money to have a bag-in-box, CO2, and fountain head installed as your sink faucet.

Just because people don't do it normally doesn't mean you can't.

Cripes, where do they FIND these idiots?

In the halls of Acadamia.

Time to open up a water store 5 miles out of town. Save on sales tax that way too.

That's probably where they forced Walmart to go... out of town. Now they've just outsourced more business to Walmart. ;-)

I wonder how citizens are supposed to prepare for disasters?

But, but, .... There will be no disasters under Obama.

[Andy'smom]

Only on soda bottles, not water or juice.

[DoughtyOne]

It’s a wonder these folks can still take a crap, as pensive and tight assed as they are.

Get a fricken life lefties, and preferably NOT MINE.

Cripes, where do they FIND these idiots?

They're everywhere, because there are no more insane asylums. These days, when it's discovered that you're positively batshit crazy, you get elected to a political office.

“We only have one planet and I just don’t want to see it spoiled”
Seems she’s getting her “we” and “I” words a little out of sync.
No one want’s to see the planet spoiled you idiot.

I’ve had drinking water in Mass., and it sucks. Tastes like rotten eggs.

Why can’t they make a plastic that decomposes? I thought they already had that one nailed down using plastic made from corn or vegetable oil.

[RexBeach]

No, Jean...YOU have MORE than one planet. It’s called planet “A-Hole”. :)

Liberals will never realize that they will lose all of their freedoms until it is too late.

lol

water is now illegal.

Big government is so far out of control I don’t know what it is going to take to get things back the way they should be.

So instead of buying a bottle of water, you buy a coke, get fatter and burp CO2. Such intelligent beings, these liberals.

“Supporters say the production of plastic water bottles uses 17 million barrels of oil each year.”

A tree-hugger site say 1.5 million barrels of oil. Which is it?

[RobRoy]

Concord, Mass. appears to be Berkley east.

[Jeff Chandler]

596,00000 kazillion bazillion barrels.

"...that’s strange. Obama said I could. Or was that Skittles? :)

That's just silly, everyone knows that Unicorns poop skittles ;-)

Um, actually, I DO make soda at home with just tap water, a carbonator from Soda Club and SC’s flavorings. Works great. Saves us a ton of money and saves us from lugging soda pop from the store. The pastic bottles are reusable, so it is relatively “green”. Most times I drink the carbonated water without any flavoring (sugar free, always).

Jeez,

I want to smoke. Inside.
I want to eat fat burgers. Two or three of them. With cheese.
I want to drink water from a bottle. A plastic bottle. And then toss it into a landfill. If the bottle comes in a neck strap six pack, I would like to toss that into the ocean.
I want to use lead paint and insulate with asbestos.
More than anything, i just want to be left alone.

bad news for retailers in Concord. These asshats don’t even realize what they are doing to their own city’s economy.

They don't need to worry about it - it's a very wealthy town. This is overreaching, of course, but bottled water is a scam - alas, if only that were the rationale.

Some enviro wacko politicias need ridicule before the voters.

Usually they are transplants and recent grads of some “university for stupid people”.
