I had to double check I wasn't reading The Onion. Sure, public water supplies in developed nations aren't without their problems, but I'd sure as hell prefer to take my chances with municipal "processed water" than put myself at risk from cholera or other water borne maladies that we more or less eradicated over the past 120 years.

I thoroughly recommend "The Blue Death: The Intriguing Past and Present Danger of the Water You Drink" by Dr. Robert Morris [0]. Kinda feels like these quacks need to be reminded of the life and death lottery our water supply used to be.
