There are things The USA needs to do.

One is hire the PR sales people who sold the nation on bottled ‘water’.

Everywhere I go I see folks carrying a bottle of water. Some will pay more for the water than a soda or beer.  I just commented to my girl, singers in church keep a bottle of water. They cannot sing two songs without drinking water. The preacher now has a plastic bottle of water.  Did Billy G. keep a bottle handy? I don’t remember.

Through the years choirs have sung an entire Cantata without a break for a drink.   ………………………….

Now, think about the USA!

***The USA is actually a very good country.  We give to poor countries. If there is a disaster we volunteer millions $ even billions$ in aid. Thousands of people pay their own way to go and assist. We have a huge foreign aid policy in our government. Organizations raise money. Fact is the church we attended Sunday raised money for the Philippines. But some of those countries we help still hate or dislike the USA.  WE are not bullies, really, we are overall, good guys…  WE need who ever sold the bottled water drinking craze, to sell the USA to the world.

Don’t get me wrong, drinking water s better than a sugar drink, but is it needed every 15 minutes? NO.  The latest studies say that in a normal situation, all the 8 glasses of water gets us is an extra trip to the bathroom. The body only needs to replace the water it expels.  Before the water craze did you ever see folks passed out on the sidewalks from dehydration?

I cannot fuss too much my girl has a glass of water and ice all the time.  What I am trying to say, and not doing too good a job of it is, someone is getting VERY RICH on all the plastic we are throwing in the land fills.  Using a product they pay little for.

BUT, Sometimes it is all in the mind, Take Ms Jones.  She is 94 yrs old. Her family doctor just retired. The new doctor reviewed her meds. Going over the list he sees BIRTH CONTROL PILLS! “Ms Jones, do you realize these are birth control pills you are still taking?”

“Oh yes Doctor, they help me sleep.”

“I assure you ma’am, nothing in this pill will come close to being a sleep aid.”

Reaching over and touching the Dr’s knee kindly and as if addressing a 3rd grader she said, “I have a 16 year old grand daughter living with me. Each morning I grind up one of those pills and put it her orange juice, and I sleep much better  .”

If you like the comfort of a plastic water bottle, by all means, continue. But believe me the water will not prevent pregnancy!
