First they came for the communists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Introduction

"If I bring a sword upon a land, and the people of the land take one man from among them and make him their watchman, and he sees the sword coming upon the land and blows the trumpet and warns the people, then he who hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, and a sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.... But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is taken away in his inequity; but his blood I will require from the watchman's hand." Ezekiel 33:2b-6 I have not been appointed, but I feel the weight of the watchman, because I see the sword coming. How can I not warn the people?

Illinois EPA Testing for Pharaceuticals in Water

Once again, I stumbled upon something. Aways seems to happen that way for me. It seems in 2008 (funny, that's just when Obama took office, isn't it?) the Illinois EPA started receiving complaints of Pharmaceuticals in the drinking water in the Chicago area. It seems Governor Blagojevich requested that the EPA monitor and test for PPCPs (Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products) and access the affects on the public health. Does that sound like fear mongering? OMGosh! All you people are flushing your pills down the drain and you're damaging the environment! You're going to kill us all! You're shampoos, the insect repellent that you wash off your bodies are aborting your babies! We are going to have to come up with environment friendly EVERYTHING! Do you think maybe this could be a new industry? Hire the Green Czar!

Here's the Report page: http://www.epa.state.il.us/water/pharmaceuticals-in-drinking-water.pdf

It states in the paper: "Since there are no established standards or guidelines for the chemicals analyzed for this project, it was necessary to develop Screening Levels for these chemicals. In consultation with IDPH toxicologists and other health professionals, the Agency chose to develop the Screening Levels for the PPCPs using a conservative risk assessment approach. This approach drew heavily on the procedures used in the recently finalized Australian Guidelines for Water Recycling (2008) to develop Drinking Water Guidelines (DWGs) to be applied to recycled waste waters in Australia."

First, why do we have to go to a European country for standards? Second, don't we have a large enough scientific community to establish our own standards and aren't there some standars already in place? And actually, I was able to find on the Internet how much caffeine it takes to abort a fetus.....200mg daily. So I don't know what they mean by there aren't any standards. But when you read further down, you understand why they did this. They wanted a lower Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI), which they could only get by slanting it with European data. It's all in who you listen to. They wanted that .002 parts per million number, not the 200 parts per million number.

But, even though they skewed the data this badly, they still got data in the safe zone. Now, why is this still of concern? Because all they have to do is dump more stuff in the water and raise the levels a bit and they can call it dangerous levels and push for more regulation. Or they can say that we are "dangerously" close to being at a level where it will be a problem.

Did anyone notice that this report never saw the light of day? Or is it me? I don't live in Illinois.

This is the sampling page: http://www.epa.state.il.us/water/pharm-data-summary.pdf

I discovered that ug/L means parts per million. Think of it as 1 drop in a billion other drops. So if the sample reads .05 ug/L it means .05 of one drop of that drug in a billion other drops of clean water.

Now, how is this significant? The left is always screaming about how we affect the environment...mankind is killing each other by the way we affect the earth. We are dumping things down the drain, our pills when we don't need them anymore, our shampoos are not earth friendly, we wash off our insect repellent and it goes into our water supply, etc. It's all destroying our earth. They don't take into consideration that God made this earth to be renewable. Have you ever made a filter system? You can research it online.

Here's the site I found: http://www.ehow.com/how_4880648_homemade-water-filters.html

The earth is designed to filter water. It says right on the site you need sand, gravel, and charcoal. Wow, that's found in the earth. So when the water flows through the earth, it filters out the chemicals that we flush down the drain. What a concept. Do you know how charcoal gets into the ground? From forests burning down. That could occur naturally from lightening strikes. You tree huggers got it wrong. God made the earth to be self-healing, as long as we're fairly responsible and don't go out of our to TRY to destroy it. We can go and live our lives without the government regulating the heck out of us.

Does that mean we can dump chemicals directly into a river....no, I didn't say that. Is that being responsible? No. But Illinois wants to regulate you and me by monitoring our households and seeing if we are flushing our pills and beauty supplies down the drain...or possibly making the businesses make "environmentally friendly" beauty supplies for everyone. I can see the writing on the wall. Why else would they look at the impact of PPCP's in the water supply? I'm sure it wasn't just for our health. This was after Obama got in office, and it was his good buddy Blagojevich. Do you think maybe ole Blago had plans of helping out Van Jones, the Green Czar?

Their conclusion? They are starting a pilot program to safely collect everyone's pharmaceuticals and safely dispose of them. Let me ask this question, residents of Illinois: Do you want the state of Illinois knowing what medications you are on? If so, you can safely turn in your pharmaceuticals with household hazardous waste to predetermined collection sites. Here's the areas... http://www.epa.state.il.us/land/hazardous-waste/household-haz-waste/hhwc-schedule.html

Funny how it's only in Naperville, Chicago, Rockford and Lake County. I guess the rest of Illinois is out of luck. You'll have to flush your pharmaceuticals like the rest of the nation for now.
