(Get out the water filter and some clean bottles, eh?) Could be... But at least water is one of the easier elements to find and purify(for those not living in Arizona, that is... :0). Even without the fancy Katadyn's and other filtration devices, folks can use activated charcoal, sand... etc, to take out particulates, and then use Clorox or iodine to purify. But let's not get caught in asking for guarantees. There is NO COMPANY that can absolutely guarantee that we'll have anything on any particular day of the week. Context is what must be considered. Speaking of context, I happened to catch a CNN headline news report this morning where they mentioned that the CEO of Quantas wasn't planning on flying on Jan 1st, 2000. Now that came across as a rather dire comment, except that CNN artfully forgot to mention that he stated that his reason for not flying was because he would be in his office closely monitoring his airlines operations. It is this type of irresponsible reporting that creates cynicism and unsubstantiated anxiety in the public. Regards, Ron
