Thanks, McGrath, you said it well.

Nerd - I did not intend to imply a conspiracy. What I see as "conditioning" is the idea that a person is not entitled to carry their own water with them. Why would anyone dump good water on the ground to buy bottled water from someone else? This makes no sense.

I would also like the people who abide by such silly rules to begin protecting the water they have. Instead of accepting the fact that they must buy water, they should be protesting against the industries and municipalities that pollute our waterways and those that want to export water for profit.
