Supreme Court Steers Clear Of Ariz. Ski-Resort Dispute With Tribes
Author: The Associated Press Source: First Amendment Center Online
Title: SUPREME COURT STEERS CLEAR OF ARIZ. SKI-RESORT DISPUTE WITH TRIBES
The Supreme Court today turned down an appeal from Indian tribes that wanted to block expansion of a ski resort on a mountain they consider sacred.
The justices said they would not get involved in the dispute between a half-dozen Western tribes and the Arizona Snowbowl ski area north of Flagstaff. The tribes wanted to block the expansion because the resort plans to use treated wastewater to make artificial snow on the mountain. The case is Navajo Nation v. Forest Service, 08-846.
The tribes have argued that the proposal violates a federal law on religious freedom, but the federal appeals court in San Francisco last year disagreed.

Perhaps the owners of the ski resort, as well as the residents of Phoenix and Flagstaff, should be made to drink the very same "treated sewage water" the ski resort wants to use for the purpose of snow-making.
Or maybe use it in Christian ceremonies and rituals, such as baptisms and blessings with "Holy water".
Heck, if the water is so damn safe, there should be absolutely no danger in drinking it -- and there definitely should be no problem with using "treated sewage water" in Christian religious ceremonies.
That's the argument for using the "treated sewage water" on the mountains -- that it's safe and "it's just water".
