Water that is microwaved

The public library is having an open experiment. There are three plants on the counter and they are all treated the same except one is being watered with water that was microwaved. The plants are in their fourth week of the experiment today and they seem about the same all green and lively. The study is a double controlled and blind and is   to prove a thesis that microwaved water hurts plants.

The Study runs for 2 months.

You can view the experiment  at 1691 Garcia Street on the counter to the right as you come in the door.

Editors:  humorous note: if you talk to the plants talk to them all not just one.

Opinion: 

This is a recent thing in jurisprudence but has been about in human activity for a long time. Deceit in war and peace is the sometimes essence of engagement amongst rivals and those that can’t compete at a legitimate level.

Along with bad faith the world has often been at odds with each other over misstatement of fact and the actions that come out of it.

People need to be trusting to be human and its a miserable thing to have to live in distrust.

Find someone you love today and hug and give a trusting smile .
