The govt...one step away from literally crawling up our asses...

"Wastewater facilities are wonderful places to understand what humans consume and excrete," Field said.

In the study presented Tuesday, one teaspoon of untreated sewage water from each of the cities was tested for 15 different drugs. Field said researchers can't calculate how many people in a town are using drugs.

She said that one fairly affluent community scored low for illicit drugs except for cocaine. Cocaine and ecstasy tended to peak on weekends and drop on weekdays, she said, while methamphetamine and prescription drugs were steady throughout the week."

    definitely NOT a job I would want to have
    Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense.

  • i can see where this could be going ...

    .. just like cops can look through your trash on the curb, because anything you throw away becomes public domain ...

    ... the government could install small (possibly undetectable) drug sensors on the pipes exiting your house ... installed at the point where they leave your residence, but before they meet up with the sewer system at large ...

    ... hey, since you are "throwing it away" it is public domain, right?

    ... guess we will all have no choice but to take ourselves off the "waste grid" and install greywater systems ...

    maybe that is why they don't want you using grey water!

    lol.

    :D
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    here we go with the paranoia again.......

    since I am an anti-drug proponent, I think this would be a great invention.

    Thanks for stepping right out and announcing to the forum that you denounce the US Constitution.

    It makes it easier to disregard your skepticism seeing as how you seem to believe that the Federal Government not only has the authority to violate my natural born & constitutionaly protected right to pursue happiness in whatever manner i see fit , but the despotic wisdom to decide for me what actions are in my own best interest.

    They needed an ammendment to take alcohol away, and that got repealed as unconstitutional ... remember?

    You tread down a slippery slope towards the Sea of Repression when you give up your rights ... you seem to give them up so gleefuly that you aren't even content unless someone is guiding you down that slope with a Luger to your back shouting "Schnell! Schnell"!

    Well they do test neighborhoods and are able to monitor essentially anything that goes through your body. Viagra. prozac etc. These communities can then be targeted and exploited accordingly.

    It is devious, and underhanded in nature.

    I should also add that it closes the loop. They do regularly add stuff to the water supply. Now a closed loop analysis can be conducted to whatever is desired. Somewhat of a guinea pig approach. In the wrong hands. Well you see...the framework is being established for a monitoring process (yet another!). That is the problem. Why it's being established is the problem.

    I can't wait for someone here *cough* to try to justify it, out of sheer mental retardation. hehe I need a good pathetic laugh

    You don't think I'm entitled to the privacy of my own excrement and urine?

    interesting...well you're flat off your rocker then

    Don't you think that's just a tad demented that some freak is analyzing this for the govt and getting paid for it?

    nope

    what I think is demented is watching videos of murder,rape etc. and calling it entertainment

    like several of your friends pointed out on another thread, we should get to know ALL the aspects of society and human nature....what an ingenious way they have discovered to do this

    if you aren't engaging in illegal drug use, what do you care?

  • and by anti drug you mean....?

    One who denounces the prescriptions given, and chooses to believe "it's not an imbalance".

    Why do you care if i am, and of what concern is it to my government?

    I hold a steady job and and i don't try to kill or rape anyone.

    I think you're quite possibly in another dimension then...or just saying it on purpose to be argumentative.

    You represent such a small percentage of public opinion that it's actually suspicious.....as in literally unbelievable.

    It's imposing beliefs on others based on what you think they should do, because of what you believe. It's a broken ideology. It's predominantly observed, and upheld, by religious groups.

    That mentality is a big part of the problem worldwide. Lot's of people dying in Iraq and Israel over that exact thing.

    So wait....a non conformist is going to accuse me of being suspicious because I have the audacity to think differently than the masses of public opinion? Talk about hypocritical!

    look at the topic... try to stay within context.

    Let's use the constitution as a baseline...how's that?

    I don't care what YOU personally do at all....The government obviously does though. To me youre just one drop in the drug bucket of scum if you engage. What I care about is that the more people who use illegal drugs, the more it is perpetuated. I personally would like to see them completely erraticated, although I am not foolish enough to think that would ever happen. However, the harder it is made for users to get and pushers to distribute, the numbers of kids being exposed drops. That is the ultimate goal in my opinion. If it takes fear of being found out via bodily fluids at the street level...then so be it.
