Thirst

Mark your calendars for Tuesday, July 13 on PBS, a POV documentary called Thirst on the struggle for privatization of water. The filmmakers showcase some very crazy schemes to supply water to arid regions. Although water is a renewable resource, privatization of water is dangerous in that monopolistic practices have severe repercussions, primarily due to the real-estate and right-of-way control of water pipelines.

Anybody remember Chinatown?

Cringe.
