    Any idea if and when AW will be refunding the county/local governments for the OT cost of the police/sheriff’s officers who seemed to be all around the so called water distribution sites? What were the police doing there anyhow? I even saw a K9 unit in Oceanport… I guess sniffing for any Ecstasy drugs that might have lead people to seek out water? Are we Americans really so uncivilized that we can’t be expected to collect water from a private enterprise without being observed and monitored by the local police force? Or have we as a majority become so accustomed and dependent on the government and local police for the most basic of needs in life, water, that we just can’t imagine any other, better, way than to have the police men with their little handguns stand around while we get… water? The whole situation is just another amazing example of the terrible dependence most people have on the government.

    Anyhow, hope some folks got their free water and whatever and feel better knowing that if you can’t even provide yourselves with …water…the gov’t and police will be there to ration a share for you!
