Missing the water for the cola
05 August 2006, Saturday

We blame the cola companies, of course, because it is their lookout to make sure that the water they use is clean and uncontaminated. You do not point a finger on somebody assuming he is faultless so that you can be faultless. The government is quite far from the chemical pots of the cola companies. Even if they place proper norms against adulteration, the so-called chemists may not obey them. It does not need an implementor of rules to act before one does his job properly. It is not really a case of stimulus-response, you know. The cola companies are not inert bodies peopled with unthinking individuals. They have minds of their own – even without government cranking norms for them. Therefore, the cola companies take the blame – not the government, not the media.
