I''d like to explain to these guys...

crawling up thru my toilet bowl
is no different than breaking down my front door.

Takes on a whole new meaning as for Denver being the mile "high" city.

I''m so glad I have well water. The city I live in, their water taste nasty.

You suspected government minds were in the gutter, but now they are in the sewer!

Affluent effluent shows that the rich recreate with cocaine on weekends...but the poor are stoned all week long. This explains how the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Cities have to meet air quality standards or lose federal funding. Soon they will have to meet drug-free sewage standards or lose federal funding! Drop a bag of cocaine down the toilet, and there goes the whole neighborhood...

I understand that the state of California does the most recycling of waste water. No wonder some of those people act so strange at times.

Google "emerging contaminants." You''ll run right out and buy a water filter.

Well, may have to start peeing in the back yard......LOL

Have they thought about tapping into the waste water of the Capitol building or, heaven forbid, the White House?

We have a cistern and have used nothing but rain water for 7 years now . . . When I travel and have to stay in a hotel, the water sucks - it feels like it leaves something on my skin. I have heard that the drugs can not be filtered out of the recyled city water - not sure if it''s true.

The money for this "research" had to come from somewhere. Perhaps it came from some of the oil industry windfall profits or maybe from Haliburton. Smoke and mirrors. Wave one hand to perpetuate the myth of a drug war so the lemming masses will be blinded to the deplorable state of education in our country, the give away of our major industries to foregin interests, the children in America that go to bed hungry, the epidemic of child sexual abuse, and as mentioned before, the highest prison rate in the world, much of it because of a victimless crime such as durg posession and I could go on and on with the panoply of social ills we Americans tolerate. Oh well, it seems like poking around in poop and pee is about all our leaders are capable of.

Check out greywater.com, they have a way to re-use "used" waste water. You don''t have to put water into the sewers at all!
