Blue Gold
« on: November 29, 2011, 10:56:38 AM »
Good documentary on how corporations are fighting to own your water so they could charge whatever price they want.  Bolivia's water once was owned by a foreign corporation and how the Bolivian people fought to the death to get their water back.  Many more stories.  You will see Coca Cola in there.  You will see the World Bank as a thief in the video.  Watch it.

Noam Chomsky is once said something like this:

"The only reason we still get free sunshine is because the corporations and their scientists haven't figured out a way to control the sun yet."

This has been going on for years.  I did a research paper on the 3 gorges in china and water is the a valuable resource.  In China they have one of the best conservation of energy/water in the world.  They ask people everywehre to respect the water.

Pollute the sure so bad that people need your air supply which is cleaned by your technology.  This is similar to water.  There is water but not drinkable.  The drinkable is owned by corporation so you have no choice but to buy water from the corporation at a high price.

Don't corporations already doing that? I mean where do you get your drinking water from?
We have to pay for all our water consumption already...

If the water is owned by corporations, they can move the water as they please and charge whatever price they think you are willing to pay.  For most of you, what belongs to the people and they pay the cost of cleaning and getting the water to their home. 

Watch the video to get a better understanding.
