Water should be privatized

[SciFi Chick]

It's not a human write according to the head of the Nestle group.

He says it like it's the most reasonable thing in the world, and he calls people who think water is a human right extreme.

I pulled this video out of an article that leaned a bit too far to the woo woo side of things, because I think the video speaks well enough for itself.

It shouldn't be a human write, a human right though is another matter.

I was still half asleep when I wrote that.

Maybe I'm like Iky, he spells just fine drunk, I know grammar when I'm half asleep. lol

I thought we'd all decided at Nuremberg that people have a right not to be crushed out of existence?

(That's the line I throw at most Libertarians BTW.)

Kidding, kidding. I know that's only honored in the breach. But it's still shocking to me that opinions like that are considered even remotely acceptable. He is supporting hydraulic dictatorship for God's sake, I don't see how one can possibly put a good spin on that.

Personally I support humane killing of people with such views.

Define humane......

This is why you have no future in advertising or public relations.

Blunt trauma to the back of the head while in a board meeting.
Say, like a baseball bat.

wouldn't that have inspired him to suggest a tommy gun in a violin case?

Well my Dear Mr. Mono,

In Brian de Palma's version of the Untouchables. Al Capone (Played by Robert de Niro) does exactly that to a minion during a dinner party....

I remember that scene. Nothing quite captures the image of total ruthlessness and brutality like a good baseball bat beating. Of course, the fact that it is totally fatal also lends to the sheer viciousness of it. The fact that he used a bat also makes it very personal in a way that a tommy gun cannot acheive.

I try to keep my watering as private as possible.

Of course I'd recommend that he say, "nothing personal, it's just business" before doing it to add that twist to the deed.

I still say it's for ninnies, Tire Irons are much more efficient.

It's actually a really good movie, and it's based on a true story. It stars Kevin Costner and Andy Garcia, and that scene is not done graphically, unlike how it would be handled in today's world.
