There's no confirmed connection between EID's water and illness in El Dorado County, county officials say.
The problem at EID, state health officials say, is that after the district filters water drawn from the American River, it stores the water in small reservoirs open to the elements.
Most other water districts use closed steel or concrete tanks. Only a few other California water districts currently store treated water in open reservoirs, including those in McCloud, Santa Barbara, Montecito, Carpinteria and Los Angeles. None of those has as many as the 11 used in EID.
The El Dorado reservoir water c .....

Racial Discrimination And Its Effect On Our Society
Words: 1599 - Pages: 6.... nobody will tell you. Why won't they tell you the time, or spare you some change? Because your different skin. Actually, because your skin is a different color, or because your a different kind of religion. You can help stop this; all you have to do is try to accept different ethnic people as you do anyone else. If you can’t, you don’t have to express it, keep it to yourself. If you hear somebody saying something about somebody else, all you have to do is listen; they are just as equal as you are. If you do it, pretty soon they’ll quit.
Racism’s history goes way back. The Constitution of the United States recognized the le .....

Immigration: Problem With Too Many Immigrants In The U.S
Words: 682 - Pages: 3.... be lowered to a much
more reasonable number. Right now, an average of over 600,000 legal immigrants
are granted access to the country. I believe this number should be cut in half.
We need to focus on problems facing American citizens, such as poverty, AIDS,
cancer, and unemployment. We don't need 300,00 more people to deal with, we have
enough problems with the currents population.
I don't think certain ethnic groups should be give preference over
another group but I think educated workers who can speak English should be
granted passage before a poor worker who is coming over here to pick lettuce for
minimum wage. The educated peop .....

members included working-class people, farmers, and middle-class
professionals. They were both better educated and younger then the Old
Fighters, who had been the backbone of the party during its first decade.
The Nazis now presented themselves as the party of the young, the strong,

Gay Marriage
Words: 848 - Pages: 4.... marriage as “the institution whereby men and women are joined in a special kind of social and legal dependence for the purpose of founding and maintaining a family.” This definition clearly states that marriage is intended for a man and woman, not a man and a man or a woman and a woman.

Marriage is “a fundamental constitutional right, or a broader right of privacy or of intimate association” (Price, 1). This means that those who wish to share their lives in an .....
