So I ran across this article and the topic was is bottled water better than tap water. Now me personally the only way that I can drink water is if it's bottled but there are some people out there who do not care. Well according to the article tap water is just as safe as bottled water depending on the person. If you have a weak immune system or take steroids then you may want to stick to bottled water. I took the liberty of posting a link to the complete article below.

"Being Black In America," will be televised July 23rd and 24th on CNN. The two day series is being hosted by reporter Soledad O' Brien and will take a look at the Black race as a whole. I strongly suggest taking a look at this documentary which may bring a new prespective to people. I hope that reporter Soledad O' Brien brings a different spin to the story besides the usual drugs, crime, and violence topics that are always reported on in the African-American community. I can't wait to see.
