A politically correct death

I'm a total sucker for peer pressure. I totally buy into the arguments for carrying a water bottle rather than buying bottled water. I have a collection of water bottles I rotate through during the week . . . my favorite being rather sacrilegious. I have purchased, and encouraged the purchase, of water bottles for others.

Now, I find I've been purchasing, or encouraging the purchasing, of my friends' slow and miserable deaths.

Apparently, water bottles . . . well, the sort I've been buying, are basically, bottled death. Toxins I can't pronounce . . . vile and scary health effects . . . lab mice needlessly tortured.

Next thing, they will tell me that my recyclable grocery bags cause angels to lose their wings.

We've started using metal water bottles, but they have their disadvantages, too. AFAIK, no health disadvantages, though.

You pusher. Now go read my environmental post and get your dander up too....

Someone told me that the number on the bottom of the bottle indicated its deadliness. Mark of the beast, perhaps? Anyway, my number seems to say that the bottle you gave me is okay.
