Blue Gold
I may be behind the times but I saw parts of the documentary Blue Gold: World Water Wars, based on the book Blue Gold: The Right To Stop Corporate Theft Of The World's Water. It was depressing and angering. Has anyone seen this or read the book?

I appreciate their ideas on more sustainable water practices.

Control it or take it away, and that's what you do to anything that lives.

5. And if someone could bottle oxygen, it would be referred to as 'invisigold'.
Because that someone would get a license from the US government, and sell it to global citizens.
