I never cease to be amazed at these types of attitudes. Folks that look for a way to justify their actions, and folks that seek to create the premise that anything a business does is OK, "cause you should just stop going". Water, clean water, is a hallmark of a progressive society, and one that is civilized. I have no problem with a vendor selling bottled water, but clean water from a fountain ought to be required of any venue where the public gathers. What you are really saying is that if one cannot afford water, then they can jolly well have the sunstroke and tough shit, Matilda. I don't buy that for one minute. I will not attend a venue where a drink of water cannot be had because someone wants to sell me water, and I can't bring any with me.

Quit alibi'ing this shit, people. Laissez Faire Capitalism has been tried before and been found wanting. Progressive peoples need to take a stand on issues like this. Period.
