Arizona is a terrible place, do not think about living here. (Tucson: community college, pine)

The bill you reference was about trying to do something about I-L-L-E-G-A-L immigration. These days people afraid to say they hate black pens because someone will call them a racist when in fact they just like the blue ones.

No, not really. Chicago gets it's drinking water from Lake Michigan. Open a google satellite view of lake Michigan, and trace the major rivers dumping into it, Trace them back to the nearest city or town of appreciable size, and locate their sewage treatment plant. Then, pan around and discover that there are hundreds of such communities around lake Michigan, alone.

Even worse, check out Pittsburgh. Go to a view where the two rivers come together to form the Ohio river. go just a tad downstream, and on the north bank is the main discharge for their sewerage. Then go maybe another quarter mile down stream, there is a large island, and right at the east end of that island is the main water plant for the city's domestic water.


Oh, sure, sure....I'm sure they use the latest processes to kill any unhealthful organisms in the water they send to your tap. But still there is absolutely no way to be sure that the water you are drinking today, was not in the bladder of a 60 year old obese man the week previously. Or in the can of beer he drank earlier that afternoon.

And, this is "everywhere". You can filter out all the solids to clarify it, and you can treat it to kill harmful bacteria, then run it over charcoal to absorb undesirable odors.

But you'll still be drinking a cocktail of dead bacteria and someone else's pee no matter what processes are employed.

If you want truly clean water, then burn hydrogen

Not sure what this has to do with Chicago but...GIT A ROPE!

Besides, we are used to drinking our own pee here...

See - everything terrible in Arizona IS because of drag queens!!

The woman has traveled abroad extensively over the years. She's well aware that bringing drugs of any kind into many countries is a serious offense. F-her. She'll likely do a few years unless the Biden Admin agrees to a prisoner swap which is quite possible. If a prisoner swap will buy him a bit of good will within the gay community expect a deal to made and made soon.

The gay community? Why not the black community, or the female community, or the athlete community, or the human community? She is no more a representative of the gay community than any other category you oddly want to put her in.

LOL! Not only someone else, but SOMETHING else. All the way back to the beginning of life.

Same for your food. Think about it. You put animal waste products, fertilizer, on plants that incorporate the molecules into their bodies. Then we either feed the plants to animals or eat the plants directly. That's the cycle of life. Yumm.

What the heck? Did I miss something?

[locolobo13]

LOL. The link in post 1289 talks about beer from reclaimed water.

Other then visiting for a couple of weeks in the winter I see no reason to go back to Arizona. It’s just a desert wasteland.
