How would you react if someone decided you’d no longer have water treatment & plumbing? That you’d be rolling a dice with water from your faucet. That you’d have to poop in a bucket & dump it in the street, your yard, a ditch. You’d probably be horrified & outraged, right? 1/

Your friends occasionally ask if your cancer is better.
