Interesting Bonk. I'll check out the movie.

I know you said no comments, and I won't say good bad or the other thing, But one of my weak spots when it comes to the nationalization of anything, is Water.

Water is the only resource, that I would support being nationalized, as everyone needs water, No one should have to die of thirst, due to not being able to pay their water bills.  My own views on other social endeavors are well known after 10 years of posting, But the water part really got my attention.

Thanks Bonk.

PS , PM me your contact info, I lost all of it man.

You can't nationalize water because then the government will tell us how many gallons we can use when we take a bath or shower. :P HI BONK!

Gasland looks bad ass. I'm gonna check it out. I cant believe we have a loop hole letting them pump crap like that that can get into water wells. Gosh we are dumb. Ok... no more comments here.

water has been already exploited in many third world countries including south america. so much so that there was a james bond movie where that was the theme. evil corporations privatize water and then cut off all access except their exorbitantly priced corporate or government controlled water and prey on the poor (again in yet another way)
