Whiskey is for drinking, water is for fighting over - Mark Twain. Mark Twain had it right then, and it's getting more like that all the time. But this documentary presents all the smart way to alleviate the major problem of not being able to create more water such a conservation, desalination
plants, better technology for those plants that turn seawater into potable/drinkable water, better agricultural water distribution, reusing rain runoff from everywhere (including roofs) which is most popular around the world, and treating waste-water to be excellent, pure potable/drinking water. Many hundred of town hall events in Orange Co. CA. Of course the politics and economics was quickly covered too, which was, is and will be the crux of it all, that and along with our attachments and belief that essentially created the problem/opportunity in the 1st place! And the problem was, as usual, seen as a lack of rain - drought. Yep, bright minds in denial. All that just pushes the problem down the road a little bit. We essentially have a love affair with the status quo, with quantity vs. quality, with a death wish that we're more than happy to meet in our future. And we think our security is in 'numbers', and ever growing population, our security from what being overtaken by hordes of Chinese, Russians, Asians, or what, Hispanics? Ultimate solutions just aren't politically correct, and who wants to do what the Chinese did - deal with it, zero population growth. But they had it back-asswards with an imbalance of too many boy babies/men compared to girl babies/women. But at least that worked. So the documentary was bitter sweet, but it did bring some of the issue into focus, but only the scientific, left-brain/rational, outer surface reactions. But that only makes the significance of the upcoming collapse bigger and bigger. How typical and stuck in the box kind of thinking. So boring, you could just go to sleep and 'pity the fool(s). Anyone for going to Mars?
