British Bureauweenies: Bottled Water Is Morally Wrong
You would think British nanny-staters would be delighted by people who drink water instead of fattening soda. But even water is politically incorrect when purchased in a bottle.
Proclaims natural resources commissioner Tim Lang:
We have to make people think that it's unfashionable just as we have with smoking. We need a similar campaign to convince people that this is wrong.
To think I've accused liberal bureauweenies of having no conception of right and wrong. Environment minister Phil Woolas adds that the amount of money spent on mineral water "borders on being morally unacceptable."
According to environazis, drinking a bottle of water has the same environmental impact as driving a car for a kilometer. For once they're telling the truth: the impact of both is effectively zero.
To rally the sheep against this latest menace, the taxpayer-financed BBC is airing a documentary entitled "Bottled Water: Who Needs It" that accuses bottled water of creating the supposedly toxic CO2 plants need to live.
Despite this campaign's absurdity, it doesn't break new ground. San Franfreakshow Mayor Gavin Newsom has already banned the sale of bottled water on city-owned property, in a gesture of obeisance to the Earth Mother.

In Britain, NHS bureaucrats (socialists) have found a way around the government's pledge that people will have to wait no more than four hours for treatment once they enter a socialist hospital, they keep them waiting outside in ambulances for hours.
Much like the communists of the old soviet union. If the government ordered a factory to produce 2,000 shoes, they would simply put out 2,000 shoddily made left shoes in the smallest size possible to meet their quota. Communism always fails. Are you listening, Obama and Hillary?

Is bottled beer still OK, though?

So, they are no longer pretending to teach morals or the value of self restraint or that actions have consequences. And what of the long term health effects on this plan? Let alone the declining Anglo-Saxon birth rate that currently exists.

What's with this invocation of morality on hopelessly mundane issues? Drinking bottled water is silly and fashionable (pardon the redundancy) and extravagant, you betcha, since they probably filled the bottle from the tap. But immoral? Please.
