Free Lead Tests in NY

The inexpensive kit didn't work that well for us. It showed lead where there wasn't and was confusing. But we live in NYC where we called 311 and they connected me to an office which will send anybody a water testing kit and instructions. Much easier, more accurate and even less expensive.

Waste not

Be sure to test the water instead of simply flushing before use unnecessarily!

But the United States Coast Guard Wants To PUT Lead INTO Our Drinking Water

the united states coast guard ( " coasties " ) wants to PUT lead INTO our drinking water here in the Great Lakes Region of the united states by conducting LIVE FIRE exercises with LIVE ammunition !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this unnecessary and probably illegal use of usa taxpayer dollars is due to the " The War On Terrorism " ( TWAT ).

the coasties and usa government are worried senseless that Osama and his minions are gonna sail up the St. Lawrence Seaway and enter the Great Lakes and create mayhem and loot and pillage.

so, by depositing ** 7,000 ** POUNDS of LEAD INTO the Great Lakes as a result of these live fire exercises, our drinking and bathing water becomes LESS secure yet we become MORE secure from Osama and his minions attacking us.

IS THIS A GREAT F***ING COUNTRY OR WHUT ?!?!?!?!
