Have they got this approved from Mrs. barack hussein obama Jr....she wants sodas banned and for children to drink more water....
I always crush my water bottles down till they’re flat, then screw the cap back on tight so they stay that way. Not because I have to, but because I care...
Liberals. They take lead out of paint but put mercury into your light bulbs.
Was the blood shed on The Bridge all for nothing?
I’ll go buy another couple of flats of water today in honor of the commie scum running Concord.
Imagine the lawsuits, if anyone ever gets sick from drinking tap water in Concord — considering that they outlawed the competition.
There was talk of this awhile back—and then there was the big water main break that affected a whole bunch of towns and Howie Carr was saying “these guys would want to ban bottled water, but then THIS happens? What are people gonna do?”
The friggin' health nuts got rid of anything deemed unhealthful from all the public places and replaced them with water.
I've seen people commuting with a water bottle in hand, reading the newspaper, etc.
NOW, without a plastic bottle, how can one keep their favorite libation near at hand?
Will the water cooler come back in vogue?
Will there be water cooler police to assure no politically incorrect conversation takes place?
Oh, Jean, you're SO caring. You care SO much about the planet.
And that makes you a MUCH better person than those people who don't.
Here’s an opportunity to make extra money. This new ordinance will allow a water marketers to sell “still” club soda at a premium over normal water. This new product will have the advantage over its carbonated brothers by being a “green” product - the suspended CO2 in carbonated water will spill into the atmosphere. The “still” version will have no such deleterious effect on the environment.
>> Jean Hill, who introduced the measure at Concord’s Town Meeting.
What an idiot. So, a child in need of water will need to drink something loaded with whatever. This jackass is a control freak.
More mindless regulation from the Statists. Just pass illogical laws whether or not they are legal or even enforceable. If I was stupid enough to live up there, I would open a roadside stand three steps out of the city limit and sell bottle water.
“The measured passed by Concord would allow the sale of refillable containers of water.”
Every bottle of water I’ve ever bought was refillable. Yes, people often choose to not refill them, but that doesn’t make them not refillable. Oh the joys of living in a town run by idiots!
The lefty enviro wackos just need to go ahead and off themselves. For the good of the planet, of course.
Well that does it.
Ives’ “Concord Sonata” is out of my repertoire.
Permanently
(...didn’t much care for the dissonant clangorous thing, anyway.)
But last July:
article
>>In April [2010], Concord residents voted to ban the sale of bottled water in their town, but a top aide to Attorney General Martha Coakley said yesterday that her office could not issue a ruling on the policy as written, in effect killing the ban before its scheduled implementation in January.
I have a weird strategy involving Bottled water.
I sometimes drink a energy drink that has an easily removable label and a pretty bottle.
I have been saving the bottles and washing them out, then I refill them with cold cold tap water and add a drop of food coloring and place them above my cabinet as “decoration”. This is my “extreme emergency water supply” it also helps mediate the temperature of my house since the volume of the water is several gallons so far.
If the “Water NAZIs” come for my “Hoarded reserves” I will explain that his is for “decoration and recycling” and they should leave it alone and I can drink the colored water when they take away my bottled reserves.
Call me paranoid, but I can see in time of extreme emergency being labeled a hoarder by the government and shot by it’s goons. I want to hide a supply of things “in plain sight” as trying to hide things will cause them to get raided as possibly get you shot.
In a similar, bone-headed move, rather than cut any payroll as part of balancing their budget, they relied on unplugging street lights! Actually, they ended up letting people “sponsor” their street lights so that they wouldn’t go dark.
