WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE BUT NOT A DROP TO DRINK EXCEPT IN AUSTRALIA

In the natural order of balance we in the Northeast USA are drowning in rain, flooded basements, swollen rivers, and ponds where they didn't exist before.  Down under, in Australia, there is a massive drought.  Fortunately, it seemed a good idea to be prepared.

One desalinization plant, already in use,  has an output daily that would fill 600 Olympic-size pools.  Click here for more details.  While our Senate has people who believe we have the best health care system in the world and others there believe our education facilities outshine the rest of the world...they are wrong!  While some of those may have been facts at one time, the very people who cling to the notion that it is still fact are the ones who sat back refusing to do the job in Washington for which they were sent there; choosing, rather, to spend all their efforts on getting re-elected.  They didn't notice the rest of the world passing us by.

California is also experiencing a significant drought problem.  I have no idea what is currently being done to solve it other than trying to bring the mountain to Mohammad..  As David Korten writes in When Corporations Rule the World, "Externalized costs don't go away -- they are simply ignored by those who benefit from making the decisions that result in others incurring them."  Just as those who use up resources with no thought of what problems may occur.  The easiest thought is to carry water to where it is needed, no matter how far...the cost must be born.  Arizona is enraged at California saying the Californians have stolen their water.  One enterprising scientist changed tactics and, rather than bringing water to thirst, he makes water out of anything that is liquid wherever it is needed.  Given the Mohammad quote, the theory is not new but how quickly small minds forget lessons learned.

Problem solving  that comes to everyone.  In fact, as we have witnessed with politics recently, saying no is not a problem solver, either.  Usually it takes money to establish and prove new ideas.  In the past, those who wish to suppress them simply buy the ideas and their rights and simply sit on them forever.
