if pure, potable water were not so vital to the horrendous­ly messy, lazy and inefficien­t  ways the energy industry has been trying to ensure our future enslavemen­t to, why is there such a secretive drive on worldwide to privatise the supply of drinking water?  

if it becomes a mere commodity and not a right, we're done.  and so is every other living thing.  

a supply of energy for our big screen tvs and SUVs will be the least of our worries. peacekitten: i will leave with one last thought for the morning.
