"DRINKING TAP WATER = A PHARM PARTY?"

Toys from China with lead, forty-six thousand people treated with used blood tubes, and the biggest beef recall in history, all in the same year, is anyone now surprised in parts of the United States drinking water out of the tap, you may be having your own Pharmaceutical party? Well, do not be surprised, because today, the Associated Press released an article and the print/television media has also confirmed there are pharmaceutical drugs in the water Americans are drinking. From Southern California, New Jersey, Kentucky, to Detroit and Louisville, are just some of the cities having registered drugs, in the public water system.

The AP investigation has had reports of 24 out of 28 cities, registering drugs in the water supply. Yet, not all of the cities that participated in the categorical study, have the results of their drinking water, back yet. However, they are reporting that 41 million people are drinking the drug tainted water, or are using it in cooking and other ways. Drugs in the water range from anti-convulsives, psychiatric drugs (like Zoloft, Prozac, other brain enhansor/pre-hibitors, etc.), hormonal drugs (like estrogen and testosterone based, Propecia, and others), and finally some pain medications (over the counter and prescription) are also in the water. How are these drugs getting in there? According to the EPA, the drugs are being flushed down toilets, not broken down by the body and then flushed thru natural means, and then the sewage treatment plants are not breaking down the drugs, which pushes them into the water supply.

EPA Assistant Administrator of Water, Benjamin H. Grumbles (that is his name, not what he was doing), stated, "We realize this is a growing concern, and we're taking it very seriously."

In an age, where teenagers and college age students are raiding parents bathroom cabinets for "the weekend party" (Pharm Parties), there is no wonder how prevalent drugs of this nature are. However, who would have thought, anyone could have a "Pharm Party" going to the sink and pouring a glass of water. Of course, people are not getting "high" and/or partying, with drinking water. The long term effects of Americans drinking "drug water," over the course of years, should be a real concern. There is no joke, in drinking water that may have countless drugs and hormonal concerns in it, over the course of a person's life. When asked about this topic, Tom Curtis (the executive director of "The American Water Works Assoc." who claims, "The public does not know how to interpret the information." Either, the water is drug tainted, or it is not. Either, the water is clean, or the water is not clean. Finally, the EPA and the "American Water Works Association" needs to do their job, and not wonder, worry, or speculate on what the American people can, or cannot, understand.

How about that, Tom?

"SPITZER JUST ANOTHER, TAKING ADVANTAGE"

The new flavor of the week is......cloak pulled off of the newspaper stand, and the newspaper reads: "ELLIOT SPITZER CAUGHT, IN PROSTITUTE STING!" Anyone who has seen a television set, read a newspaper, or opened up the Internet connection has now seen, Governor Elliot Spitzer was caught in a "high end" (ranging from $1500-$5500 a night) prostitution ring.

"Today I would like to briefly address a private matter. I have acted in a way that violates my obligation to my family, and that violates my, or any sense of right and wrong. I have disappointed and failed to live up to the standard of myself. I must now have to dedicate some time, to regain the trust of my family, he spoke feebly at the podium."

Obviously, this is not a "private matter" now, since he has been caught on tape and wires, engaging in a prostitution ring. All jokes, innuendo, and news media casting stones aside, is anyone really surprised about this? Spitzer is from "old money" (his father was a multimillionaire, thru construction and development), lives in one of his father's upper-east side apartment buildings (across from the "Natural History Museum"), and he is a "Wall Street" friendly governor. Although, he was called a crusader against "Wall Street Crime." After graduating from Princeton and Harvard Law, Spitzer has had a paved way, thru the greasing of hands and back room deals, all the way to the gubernatorial race (where he won by a 70% of the vote). This is a man who was striking his pen, making laws, based on his own belief system, assuming "entitlements" (with his New York sanctuary city and illegal aliens getting driver's licenses), although "Time" called him "Crusader of the Year."

A man that assumes entitlements, is born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and is from massive amounts of money at his disposal (throughout his lifetime), there is no surprise, he will assume "entitlements" in the bedroom, take some liberties in his life (personal/professional), or in his personal life and spare time. Is there really any shock to this story? With the Larry Craig fiasco, Bill Clinton ("I did not have sexual relations, with that woman," Monica Luinski), and countless other men throughout history have committed the same "sin." John F. Kennedy, with Joe DiMaggio's wife, Marilynn Monroe, a cheater, but he is considered on of the "crown jewels" of the United States Presidents. If Spitzer lived in Las Vegas, where it is legal for prostitution, would this make the problem easier? Is this a moral problem for the media, or a legal one? Either way, congressman, governors, senators, and countless other men who are elected officials of the people, find themselves in the position to not "serve the people," but to "serve themselves, from the people."

One thing the media will never say, in conclusion, is Spitzer was taking advantage of another woman, for money. Period! Prostitution is the oldest profession in the world for a reason, and it is because of men taking advantage of women. The liberties with that woman, usually, start when they are very young and under abuse (in the girl's house, usually by someone they know). After the early abuse, it is no different from "Pavlov's Dog Theory," because the girl (at an early age) learns that the way to attention, money, gifts, and goals is thru sex. Spitzer is just another, in the longest line in history, taking advantage of women, to get his own rocks off.
