Seeing a Baader-Meinhof terrorist entering court clutching a PET bottle, in a photo in today's Independent, reminded the Blog that carrying a plastic bottle around all day has one key advantage: protection from malicious poisoning.
No doubt Ms Verena Becker, formerly of the Red Army Faction (which started as the Baader-Meinhof gang), chose to carry her own water into the Stuttgart courtroom for reasons of self-protection rather than concerns about dehydration or tap water contamination.
Still, you'd have thought that an anti-capitalist guerrilla would have thought twice about publicly supporting the multinational mineral water and PET bottle industrial complex.
