(Don't anyone assume this is personal.  I'm just making a general point.)

Why?  Why must they do something to change the surface tension of the water?  
Must we continue to teach nature new tricks like a precocious dog?  Are we so 
spoiled as Americans and consumers that we can't handle the fact that some 
powdered drinks reconstitute a bit lumpy?  Kinda like PUDs or the rocks of 
PA.  Just some obstacles that put some challenge into living!  Give me the 
simple life.  Let me understand the incredible richness and subtlety of 
unadulterated nature rather than processed happiness in a can.  Give me 
hard-earned adventure.  Let me die before my body weakens or my mind grows 
dim. Let me, too, go out screaming Geronimo! while choking on a soy lump!  :)


Happy trails,
