The Corporate Takeover Of Water In Ecuador

And of course we see the World Bank involved in this. How soon before Atlanta's water is the same? ENRON was already in Texas years ago before their "fall." Just how much will rich bastards like the Bushes and others control before the boom is lowered regarding our water resources because people are more interested in their distractions than heeding the warnings and the clear signs and do all they can to conserve this resource and hold corporations accountable for sucking this Earth dry?///// This isn't going to go away if we just sit and do nothing. Do you even know who really owns your water? I have to give credit to the people of South America. At least they fight for what they consider to be important, uinlike here where it appears the majority don't care as long as it comes out of the tap, and even if it didn't, would rather spend 5.00 for a crappy bottle of reprocessed tap water than admit they have to do something about it.///// Perhaps should the same scenario happen here over a great swath of this country and we are all paying Coca Cola through the nose for our water, people on the whole will understand what we are allowing to take place elsewhere in this world. I have said it before and I will say it again, the World Bank needs to be investigated for the "loans" they give to these poor countries based on the stipulations attached to them that keep them in debt and do nothing to give therm opportunity or true control of their resources. Water is a human right, and it is time to stand up for it all over this world before the haves own it all and we are paying through the nose for even one drop.

also in bolivia not so long ago
the people fought for it and finally got it back
it was given to bechtel, you may know them from subcontracts in iraq
as you can see, the us lobbyists from bechtel have been around the us govt for a while now
still, no accountability, they deserve to be kicked out of two countries and still not much happens to the stock holders
same old story, no accountability
