Hullo dear reader
Stephen King used to always open his books thusly, so why
not take a leaf out of America’s best writer of the last fifty years.
Science has so many different areas and it covers such a
wide base of topics from bone marrow to Neptune to why the brain seems to fail
at exam time. Once more the focus is on drought and water. I have read this article
and thought about it.
The first conclusion to be draws is that the media elements in
it are good. The running water and the pictures are a nice accompaniment. Their
use of facts and statistics is also clever. But the writing is dull and the
article too lengthy to keep the attention span of the average reader.
Also, Wall Street does not operate to help humans. If it
does that, it is only incidental. Broker Disque Deane Jr. is just another corporate
suit looking to profit off human misfortune. Wall Street feeds of despair and
misery, it is like a leech. It funds a huge chunk of the world but at a cost.
So the fact that a rich broker, with no grasp on the reality of poverty, named
after his rich father decides to buy this property with plenty of water
actually makes one feel a little nauseous.
Environmentally speaking, we should be ashamed. We have dug
our own grave here. The planet has so many resources, so much to give, but we
are greedy, we are selfish. We shouldn’t have these problems that we have to fix.
We made all of our problems with our greed and now it is too late.
This article is too heavy with economics and money. Who
cares? The environment and clean water are far more important. Without water
town disappear and communities are ripped apart. The west needs to conserve water
so that they do not need to find more.
The article mentions Australia. The water restriction laws
there are infamously tight. A country that uses up the most water in the world
per capita should take a verdant green leaf out of Australia’s brook. Conserve
not create. Also tied in, as always, is politics. America is a consumer
country, a capitalist country. It breeds gluttony and the USA, where one in
three young adults is too fat to serve in its beloved military, is eating itself to
death.
On that cheery note, I bid you adieu. Till next time dear
reader.
