Bottled air

[The Tuffen]

In the US there are some things known as 'Oxygen Bars' where you can breath pure (or at least a higher percentage of) oxygen.

I'm thinking I should open one of those near the hippy college in Bellingham. I'd also sell organic coffee and bagels.

I think one of the bars in my town sells oxygen things.

Well you can get high from oxygen.

I though oxidizing(you reacting with O2) was a powerful force behind aging? Thus exposing yourself to more O2 then is needed will only shorten your life.

Bottled air? Even in the worst environments(mex city) a bottle would be a waste. YOu need a semi full of O2 at 20 atms to be useful, and then I would suggest that you release it only in a more or less airtight building.

It comes to new lows when capitalists will bottle the air you breath and use it to steal from us.

[Sjakihata]

yeah, someday they might to the same to the land we walk on and the water we drink...

Not from us, but from people dumb enough to think they are actaully buying something. Conclusion: school systems in the UK(and US for that matter) need to enourage critaical thinking more.

erm, didn't that already happen with the water ?
paying outrageous sums of money on bottled water... of course, it contains all the minerals and nutrients you need, and it's pure spring water... because that's what it says on the label and in advertisements...after all, they wouldn't lie to you, would they ?...

oh, and about being dumb enough to do that: well, there's more to it than just being dumb. That's part of it, I agree. But there's more. Even if you didn't want to buy to being with, you may end up buying it anyway because of several factors put together: aggressive marketing and advertising, all sorts of social pressure (your wife/husband/mother/father/friends/neighbors/whatever think "it's good for you", and "Just _HOW_ can you still drink that filthy horrible tap water ?!? We buy bottled water, you should do the same ..."), and I could go on... but what's the point ?

The person in this scenario could just point out the others folly. Or just ignore them and make an excuse not to explain why(if I tell you why our marraige could fall out). Or you could just not care. I honestly think we would be better off it we cred less about what those around us thought. Works for me.

Yes from us, from every worker.
