Oops, looks like I gave the impression that I was attacking the scientist 
that said it was okay to drink wilderness water untreated. Au Contrarie! I 
was attacking those who said the water was unsafe to drink because a 
minuscule amount (1/3 that of San Francisco drinking water) was found in some 
lakes without considering other factors. I have never used a filter. A whole 
slew of people have told me that I am reckless and are just waiting for the 
day that they can say, "I told you so." Now I intend to print out that 
article and wave it under their ignorant noses, saying "I told you the water 
was safe." Ah but why bother. Nothing will convince them. What a shame. I get 
to drink some of the purist water on Earth without fear,  while they are 
convinced the exact same water will poison them if not treated
