ohhh, the irony.

I hope somebody besides me has noticed how ironic it is that in America we have hundreds of different "types" of water (c'mon, water is water is water, people), while in Africa and Asia, to name a few, millions of people don't have ANY clean water to drink.
America: Land of the brave, and home of the ridiculous amounts of surplus and luxury. (Just to clarify, I do love this country. It's an amazing country, and I'm proud to live here. But some of the things that happen here are absolutely ridiculous, and it's really no wonder sometimes that we're the laughingstock of the rest of the world.)
We should try to get some clean water over to people who actually need it instead of creating different "types" of water to make people "feel better".

we do not seem to have our founding ideals cemented in their proper place with our country and we seem to be moving further away from them each and every day...
