[SustainableTompkins] AP Probe Finds Drugs in Drinking Water

[Tony Del Plato]

Tom & all:
Yeah this is old news hitting the headlines. Another interesting side note:
in Popular Mechanics, there's an article about how two scientists have
created a technology to tell you "exactly" what drugs are in the water
system just by going into the waste/water treatment facilities. So we'll
know what people are using, legally or not, while water life will go thru
its twists and turns on the evolutionary spiral (up or down or whichever
what way)

The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap
between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were
instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting
out ink.
