The people who play mainly with water here have lots of fun during Carnival. But I don't like it - they also importunate people who would rather not participate. Then, there is the occasional car accident or health problem (for instance, ear problems, or cold), caused by the water.

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
