I can't see anyone getting ultra sick from having a minor scratch and
swimming in e.coli water unless it the water was so full of it that no
one would want to swim there because of the colour and the smell.
Accidentally or intentionally drinking some, okay.

From the article: "I think it's just sad that it's polluted, and I hope
they find a solution."

Were you pointing out the 'I think' and 'I hope' until it came to
'they find'? Remarkable how the pronouns change there, isn't it? Not
that I'm saying I'm any better, by the way. That's how I feel about
it, too, but at least I realize I'm more part of the problem than of
the solution.

Anybody remember, "The solution to pollution is dilution"?

Yeah. Except there's only so much you can dilute. Then you have to
go to concentration and degradation.

One of those potentially dangerous half-truths......one which, in this
instance, happens to be perfectly correct in its implications, if not in
practical terms.
