I thought this was going to be about Andrew Lloyd Webber's latest revival.

The Army Engineers should be looking into all the old time systems in the country.  At one time in history Chicago had its sewers up river from the drinking water supply.  Any farmer knows they do not build a barn at the top of the hill and the family well at the bottom.

I wonder what is under the streets of the big city's,how they dispose of mountins of garbage every day. At one time driving up the coast to by pass New York there was a stretch of perhaps 10 miles up the highway that had these huge mountins of   something with at the distance looked like toy earth movers atop.   The stench caused us to roll up the windows on the car, horrible.

Gave me the idea that the dinosaurs with what must have pooped out buckets of stuff did  leave enough Mathian to in a lighting strike cause huge explosions.    Any one with a big dog knows that they poop as much or more then a human.

Now we get to the real problem, 100 years of using these old time sewer pipes built for the population at the time they were built.    Times change and the capacity of the sewers 100 years ago can no longer handle the huge influx of people now using them.

Then there is the make up of the pipes themselves, they were not made to carry the chemicals of today,  Heaven help us if the new chemicals we use or put into our body's ever hit a firing point and go Boom.

Just how do you propose that the munis in question pay for replacement of their water/sewer systems?
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor
