One Billion People Do Not Have Access To Water

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


A few random Sunday thoughts.

We take so much for granted at times. Take water for instance. I’ve just come across the statistic that over one billion people in the world do not have access to even a basic water supply. Just imagine that, no fresh water from the taps for drinking, cooking or bathing.

In 2010 the United Nations passed a resolution which basically said that clean drinking water is a fundamental right for everyone, But, guess what, not all countries agreed. Both the USA and the UK abstained on the grounds of what this would cost.

Privately owned water companies also disagreed. When some put it too them that they were profiteering as water ‘was a gift from God’ one of the company presidents answered glibly, “Yes, but He forgot to lay the pipes.”

We spend billions on wars and weapons and yet millions in the world don’t have clean, drinkable water. We seem to have some skewed ideas of what is important.

Makes me wonder if water will become the new oil, where profiteering and power flourishes – let’s hope not.

      And most American’s don’t care however they are not aware that our government is selling China our fresh water.

      Now with Weather Modification tech it’s only going to get worse.

      Weather Modification can be used as a “Do as you are told or we turn off your rain.”

      Simply put down your remotes, ipods, cell phones, Twilight, Harry Potter movies and fantasy novels and start doing some research.

      Wake up and take action or your children and grandchildren will be culled…………your choice.

      Secondly, Water use to be pure, you use to be able to freely go to any fresh running stream and grab a drink.

      We now have companies that pollute our water and than we have to pay “water companies” to unpollute the water………………..does this make sense?

      Some places you are not allowed to catch rain water. Does this make sense?

      Water comes from rain and big fresh water lakes – should be free for all.

      Another aspect is cutting down all our trees – trees are the lungs of our planet and help moisturize our air and bring in the rain………….you tamper with Mother Nature – i.e. The Law of God and you are asking for trouble.

      You reap as you sow.
