Hey Stupid, this has nothing to do with Bush, this has been going on for decades, it's just that the EPA hasn't looked for it. You should understand this is a problem we as humans have created. Our drinking water is being contaminated by our trash, plastic bottles, plastic bags and all the other garbage we throw away that takes hundreds if not thousands of years to decompose. You should learn more about our water problem it is worldwide. Soon we won't have anything worth drinking. By the way, we all need fresh water to live.

In other news, the DEA has announced that their agents have surrounded the suspected fish ponds. Arrests will be forthcoming.

I caught a trout the other day, and fried it up. It was loaded with Viagra, and boys lemme tell ya, me and the old lady rattled the bedsprings for hours. Tomorrow, I'm going fishing for catfish, I might get lucky again.

At this point in time no one has actually pin pointed any "ill effect" of this low level exposure.

See that is where this article leaves a lot out. I for one know first hand just how minute a trace it takes to cause an allergic reaction to a medication. My mother dropped a pill, I picked it up bare handed and gave it to her, total contact time with my skin was a split second, yet my reaction to the drug was instant. The mere contact of my bare hand and the pill threw me into anaphylactic shock. there was not even a trace amount in my blood stream that could be detected by the lab, yet it almost killed me. Needless to say, my medical records now reflect a severe allergy to Digoxin.
