		<description>Mother Nature is watching - She figures when you have no more water, the people will die off, then you won&#039;t need oil , and you will leave her alone! Big Oil has all the money, the money politicians crave, and buying them out is democracies weakest link, the source of its cancer, the reason it really is a farce. We are doomed to lining up at the pumps in GM built, taxpayer financed SUV&#039;s and paying whatever the pump reads - forget about inter-city high speed rail and efficient Euro-Diesels, Solar wind, wave, hydro, tidal, biomass, geothermal, all workable, but without the &quot;Capital&quot; behind it to amount to a peck of coon-shit, all lost in a corporate whirl to a dividend paying stock! America due to corporate law and embedded propaganda is doomed to &quot;stay the course&quot;, in fact bound by it&#039;s own laws, to reward the bottom line and reject all other notions, sane or otherwise in it&#039;s singular profit -making motive.  The &quot;tainted milk&quot; executives in China were blood typed for organ transplantation, shot in the head, in public, and gave their organs to deserving humans, without choice in the matter, for having hurt the public interest. The shysters, swindlers, shylocks, and banksters of Wall Street were given &quot;Golden Parachutes&quot; to a lifestyle far beyond the lifestyle of the common man they stole from, for having recked the American economy! China is now demanding the &quot;Yuan&quot;, their currency, be used for world trade, in place of the untrusted American Dollar - and it is going to happen because the rest of the world hates the U.S. capitalist and doesn&#039;t trust him with their money. Right now, the American capitalist is in control of your water, and will have his way, to meet ends that are best for his shareholders - not best for America, not best for Americans, best for shareholders, in Israel, Saudi Arabia, OPEC countries, Britain, Europe, Monaco, wherever they want to live, but be damned certain, far from the mayhem their servants, the capitalists that run the &quot;business machine&quot; that eats your land work and destroy for capital gain! Be a good little capitalist - buy shares and move to the Bahamas and collect dividends - don&#039;t whine, this is the system you love, live and die for in your wars. It is working well, it just happens to be in your neighborhood right now, thats all.</description>

Well it looks as though the anti big government pro free enterprise denizens of the west are about to discover what their beliefs hath wrought. Stand by for them to come whining expecting sympathy and help for their plight.

Well it also looks like the anti-free trade pro-socialist denziens of Detroit have discovered what their beliefs have wrought... 

How IS that working out for you?</description>

		<description>This has to be one of the dumbest quotes I have ever read  “The rights that we have, for the most part, are conditional. The water has to be there legally and physically” that&#039;s like saying we did buy the warehouse full of food over there but we can&#039;t actually use it unless the food is there, you know, the one we are looking at now...

God help you all, unfortunately the rest of the world is following the example of your decaying society but we wish you luck and peace.</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s a scenario for how it&#039;ll be when there just isn&#039;t enough water for everyone.  A lot of other things can go wrong, as well.  Read my free e-book, &lt;a href=&quot;http://personal.inet.fi/private/walkabout&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Walkabout: The History of a Brief Century&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>I live on a 30,000 acre south texas lease operated by ExxonMobil. It&#039;s so much fun that I made a website with a blog, youtube page, etc so everyone can see what it&#039;s really like in the oil business today. I take 1000&#039;s of photos and videos of day to day life on an oil lease. Our groundwater has a massive amount of BTEX and polycyclic hydrocarbons.  There are clusters of kids with leukemia across the area. It&#039;s just so lovely. If drilling is coming to your area, its best to just give up and move.
