FOR THOUGHT: We now have enough subscribers to support TvNewsLIES.org
if every subscriber to this mailing list donated $1
per month!* If we doubled the size of our list it would
only take $0.50 per week. Being financed to this point would mean
that TvNewsLIES could pay for its
overhead and any money over this amount could go towards hiring
reporters and expanding the new radio program. It would also allow
TvNewsLIES could repay my original
investment so that I can do things like pay the rent and buy food!
Just something to think about.

I
recently rebuild one of the bathrooms in my condo. I did a great
deal of research prior to purchasing the fixtures. I have always
been very careful to consider the environment when I make any
purchases that may have an environmental impact. In the case of my
bathroom I stumbled upon two technologies that could save a great
deal of water, both related to the commode (toilet).
New
toilets today are available that can save water in two ways. First
off there is the simple dual flush system. This is a simple system
where a second flush lever is available for flushes that require
less water. One flush is a standard 1.6 gallon flush that we find
in most commodes in the U.S.. The second flush is a lighter 1.0
gallon flush that we normally find in urinals, where less water is
required to do the trick.
The
next little technology is called pressure assisted flushing. This
is where a tank inside the commode stores water that is
pressurized by the water pipes that fill it. The result of this
pressure is apparent once you flush the unit. To put it bluntly
hardly a person reading this had never encountered a situation
where more than one flush is required to complete the job. Well
let me tell you this, you would hardly find a job that require a
second flush from these pressure assisted commodes.
Now
why am I bringing this up and what does it have to do with
California, Georgia & the U.S. Government? It is all about the
laws and it is all about our dwindling water supply! As I did my
research I found out that the dual flush commodes are required by
law in nations like China, Australia and Israel. Yet there is
pressure in the US to keep this technology quiet because it would
costs builders and landlords more money. Again, we have an example
of American values. The only thing that matters is money. That's
it. Nothing else, not even drinking water or water to put out
fires!
I
paid almost $400 for one of these commodes when I redid my
bathroom. I could have had a fancy one piece commode for less than
$100 but I chose to save water for my condo, my city and my fellow
human beings. I also purchased a Gerber brand commode because it
is the only commode that is still made in America. Call me silly
for writing this and call me silly for picking this uncomfortable
topic to write about, but every little bit helps. And if every
American would save a few gallons of water each day places like
Atlanta would not be in a state of emergency as they watch their
watter supply vanish. And if we had a real news media our
government may actually be forced to protect the people instead of
just the people who own them! *Think about it! Jesse
Richard b Editor, TvNewsLIES.org*
*PERSONAL
NOTE UPDATE: *For the many people who have written me
asking what has been going on...I will be writing a personal blog
piece on what I have been going through. I think you will find it
interesting and quite informative taking into account all I have
learned from the experience.
Getting the CT scan results
tomorrow. Still able to do regular updates to the news page but
the newsletter is still a struggle right now. I'll get it out as
often as I can.
Thank you for understanding,Jesse
