Actually, we're the most productive workers on the planet.
Yep, but only because you work more hours/head than others. Dollar output per hour worked is behind many others. Prove it. This is just more venal wishful thinking on your part. |

"There are lies, damned lies, and statistics ... "
By saying "Dollar output per hour worked is behind many others" you've distorted the truth. Here's the table from the original study. Go down to Figure 18b: http://www.ilo.org/public/english/em...ilm/kilm18.htm It is true that four countries are slightly more productive per hour than the US (Norway is the only one significantly higher), that hardly represents "many others." The US leads by far when measured "per person employed." Capetanios Oz wrote in message ... On 13 Nov 2003 09:45:56 GMT, (SkitchNYC) wrote: Actually, we're the most productive workers on the planet.

Pay some attention to what shower products are being used or you may
start loading up your soil with nasty stuff -like acrylamide and metals.

Yep, I drink about 2-3cups of espresso a day so it really isn't a problem. At sea that goes up quite a bit, maybe killing time, maybe a little boredom but my water comsumption remains pretty normal ie, no dehydration. With that in mind, I was interested to read that report which explains why contrary to the myth. Here's an interesting article (well, I thought so anyway) on a similar topic http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/msal****er.html Ah yes, I've seen similar before. My Chem teacher in high school was a sailor and explained the process during a lecture on osmosis, cell structure and membranes natural and synthetic. Fresh Coffee- Doug King BTW we are on strict water restrictions here, no washing of cars/boats/hard surfaces, no garden sprinklers etc. Our consumption has risen with drought and expansion of the population so storage just can't cope. Much talk on reuse of grey water, recycling of black water with a turn around of around 2 years before it reaches our taps again, And desalination though the consensus is that it uses way to much energy to be practical. Will be interesting to see what eventuates. I'm renovating a bathroom used by my kids and am having the pipework from theit shower and bath run into a tank for reuse flushing toilets, watering gardens and maybe washing cars/boats.

Why do they put antifreeze in a shampoo?
WOW! They do that now? When I was in high school we all used to wash = our hair right before the bus came (we all had rally long straight = hair...60's ya know) and in the winter our hair would freeze....isn't = modern science wonderful? Now teenaged girls don't have to have frozen = hair anymore! --=20 katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.

Water is too cheap, we've wasted it for decades and now all we get is restrictions without any thought to reductions Reuse of grey water has actually bee virtually banned until recently because of Council worries about health issues. Not to mention that storing rainwater was forbidden until recently. Visual pollution from tanks or some such rubbish. I wouldn't drink Sydney rainwater - too much air pollution - but using it on the gardens etc is fine. Sydney is going to have to conserve/reduce because they can't get any more - it simply isn't available at any acceptable environmental cost. Stuidity reigns! Sadly true. In Hobart, water isn't even metered. Plenty of supply for the population. Long may it stay that way. PDW |

The hotel cafe in Sydney didn't serve water with the menu or meal. But
there was plenty of other beverages |
