  • Blue Gold: The Ultimate Commodity [View article]
    Our common sense dictates that access to water, like access to clean air, is a human right. Water must remain a public trust and a public right; no private company should be allowed to commodify water or decide who gets that water. As long as control of water resources remain in the control of public hands, then private sector involvement in delivering that water is not a problem.

  • Blue Gold: The Ultimate Commodity [View article]
    Lots of interesting factoids, numbers, and stats in this article. I especially like the following:
    "Studies also show a correlation between lack of clean water availability resulting in a 5%-15% drop in the measured development of human populations IQ brain functions."
    How perverse is this to be talking about "Profits to be made" and the "readiness to pay" on the most basic necessity for life? Please forgive me, fellow profiteers, but the commercialization and incorporation of the Earth has gone too far.
