1. LOL!

“It’s stupid. You can see the sign that says: ‘This is your drinking water. Don’t spit, throw, toss anything in it.’ He’s four feet away from that sign. Unless he’s from North Dakota and just moved here, he’s got to know that’s our drinking water.”

Now tell that to the pipeline, or the frackers. A little pee isn't going to "kill" anyone. Unlike the coal ash being spilled into "drinking water" We here in Ca would have gladly taken that water.
