city regarding water issues. this is the first outreach which was a supplement in new york times and daily news which i think is the most circulated paper in new york city. and getting bigger as time goes on we'll try to engage in some of this thinking where people are thinking of this early and not just presented with a plan to go, thumbs up or down on it. the idea of putting sustained conversation with consistent information is very important. this is new york city does not preclude the water utilities thinking about climate change and water and the things that go along with that and trying reach out nationally. one more. last one. >> i'm representing the endangered species coalition. made up of four hundred different groups. i guess my question from yesterday revolved the impacts of global warming like the, eco basis. >> i don't want to disappoint you but we're not going to be able to do questions. so i hope you can make this a comment. >> i would encourage water managers and people included in water matters try to preclude or include other species and in the process early on rather than late in the game which h

and that's what new york city did. they first went to the hudson highlands, but 150 years later, it went to the delaware highlands. and really diverted the water that normally went to philadelphia to new york city. i don't think they anticipated that. narrator: the majority of new york city's drinking water comes from watersheds in upstate new york. a watershed is the area of land where water from rain or snow melt drains downhill into a body of water. mountains act as a funnel to feed rivers and lakes. and in this case, reservoirs. in the new york city system, water is collected and stored in 19 reservoirs, which can hold more than a year's supply -- over 580 billion gallons of water. almost all of the system is fed by gravity, without the use of energy-consuming pumps. valves open to regulate the flow into the 85-mile-long delaware aqueduct -- the longest tunnel in the world. at hillview reservoir... the water is partitioned into another giant tunnel system. where it travels deep below manhattan. the pressure built up

the anarchist, they didn't act for her directly, but she moved from rochester to new york city because this is where her hero had settled after being expelled from basically most of the central year. he came to new york, started an anarchist newspaper and became quite a famous person in his era. he was emma goldman's hero, she came down to new york to sort be in his circle. and our kids and for a time was regarded as something of an inside joke among european immigrants in a larger american society. didn't care much one way or the other. that result ended in 1886 and the bloodshed of haymarket square in chicago. he was nowhere near haymarket square. he was the most famous an artist in america and he was going to pay for this. and he did. he was prosecuted twice, on two different incidents on unlawful assembly and inciting to riot. and howe and hummel defended him twice. they lost twice. is always going to lose these cases. he should have lost the first and when the second, but america was in no mood to tolerate anarchism. so that was a rare case of howe and hummel operating out of some

and you described new york today to -- you say sound the alarm, there is a new drug epidemic in town and most of the city wants in on it. in certain circles of new york, it is regular table conversation. we have entered the golden age of self-medication. drugs have become like hair products or cosmetics. this is brain styling, not mind altering, and you have a serious point to make there, but what is the extent of what you see going on in new york? >> well, i mean, i think new york is the same town that brought you woody allen and brought you everybody having a psychiatrist. there not a great deal of stigma to being neurotic in new york. it is accepted to the point of maybe being desirable in certain circles. i think now that these medications are more common, new york is the place where people are going to be comfortable with it and going to be open about it. >> you make a point of saying here that this is brain styling, not mind altering. you make a clear distinction between the two, do you not? >> yeah. i think people when they have actual problems like anxiety, depression or insomnia. they take these

a dirty word these days the upper class probably pays ninety percent of the taxes and more in new york city and new york state it's probably the same thing in wisconsin i don't know the numbers but i think everybody is paying for it paying to keep the government moving so why are there is there more riled up than if it if it seems like so clear cut the why is everyone so in a fit right now where people don't want to give up. what they've got were it not for the news coverage and or the social media and i'm not saying it's bad but were it not for the type of coverage. we it would not be neither of these things either of the middle east things or the things going on with the states would be quite as hot as they are i am not i'm not a fan the unions but you don't stomp on them this way and i think that this guy has presidential ambitions he thinks he's going to be the next sarah palin and i just think that it's a mistake and i'm glad that people from all over the country going out there to support the teachers in wisconsin remember who we think should be paying for the best economy but bottom
