Social drinking again?

Let’s talk about our drinking water.  For the most part drinking water in our communities is safe and thirst quenching.  But, we are not talking about safe drinking water this time. 

I want to address the rhetoric about socialized this and socialized that.  Babble accusing democrats for their communal mongering.  Always wanting more taxes to fund so called welfare programs.  “Tax and spend again.”

If you haven’t been paying attention one of the biggest socialized programs in our state are the large presents of nearby lakes.  Man made lakes funded by federal dollars.  Lakes built during the Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson administration.  Some lakes also providing electrical power.  Most providing recreational boating and sailing.  Many with state built lodges.  But most of all lakes providing water for drinking.  Drinking water collected, purified, and delivered to households by state and local municipalities.  Water brought to our water faucet in our kitchens and bathrooms.  Not to mention water to irrigate our lawns and gardens.

But here is my point.  Water collected and delivered to us and paid for by federal money and local taxes.  A social system if I have ever seen one.  Do we want to give up our drinking water just because it’s paid for by federal, state, and city taxes?  Well then, stop this socialized crap.  Or stop drinking our water.  There’s plenty of privatized water at the grocery store.  All in convenient plastic bottles.  Bottles often tossed away over the landscape.  Creating a privatized blight on the environment.
