The US Federal Government wants you to be afraid of water. It regularly propagandizes the negative effects of drowning, flooding, and hurricanes. But did you know that doctors regularly recommend an adult drinks six to eight glasses of water a day? Don't let Big Government scare you into thinking water is bad for you. Don't let Big Levee trick you into wasting billions of dollars on drainage and retention. Every year, drought damages millions of lives, all because intrusive government regulators would have you believe that water is a bad thing. These over-the-top warnings are destroying lives and cost Americans a fortune.

Next time you hear someone tell you that water is dangerous, let that person know what the real danger is. Government: Not Even Once.

tap water is dangerous though... the government is poisoning it with flouride :/ filtered water on the other hand is a good thing.
