You’ll be so old by the time they get around to that chlorine won’t even exist any more.

Actually, our water system has been chlorinated for two or three years now. So far, there’s not a fatality to show for it.
you’re expecting people to drop dead on the street from drinking chlorinated water? you don’t have any way of knowing how many incidents of cancer (or or or) are related to ingesting chlorine, nor do i, but logic tells me it just can’t be beneficial for your health. So maybe it kills e.coli; that’s a good thing, but please don’t cite some industry-paid-for scientific study raving about how safe it is. jajaja the last time i stopped into a cafe to have an espresso, the girl brought me a glass of water. i raised it to my lips but the smell of chlorine was so evident that i couldn’t bring myself to drink it. I was told they used filtered water for the espresso machine. i don’t want my water to smell anymore than i want to see the air I breathe. that makes sense to me. the rest of it is something i can’t wrap my head around.
My dad is 99 years old and drinks chlorinated water every day, so I guess it will not kill me.
