Will water become more valuable than oil?
Just a Sip



This debate is absurdly late for civilized people.
Water is already more valuable than oil. Something new? No. It has been more valuable since the dawn of civilization.
Oil can be priced at a million dollars per barrel but compared to water and life itself, oil is worthless.

Oil is handy stuff. Your Hummer H3 can use oil, as can your Ford or Cadillac, your Rolls-Royce or your kid's school bus. Heat your home with it. Make plastic. Endless ways to use it, even just burn it'.


It is handy stuff, no doubt about that.

Your personal physical requirements, however, are a completely different matter. No matter how much oil you have, you will die within 7 days without water; sooner in many instances.

Cut to the chase. Recognize and tell the Truth. Remove the blinders from the rich, the powerful, Big Oil, and Bigger Money. Chief Executive Officers everywhere need to answer this question:
"How many days would YOU like to survive, people?"

Human beings cannot drink oil, yet they greedily place a 'dollar' value upon that commodity because of the perception that 'Commerce' actually means something. Oil is a means to the end, the end' is money, he who has the most money and the most toys wins' - truer words have never been spoken for the rich, for to them, greed is more important than life itself.

Unless they happen to find themselves thirsty -and there IS no water to drink.

Water is essential to all life forms; yet humanity disregards the fact that world supplies of potable water, -meaning the water that is drinkable are rapidly diminishing world-wide because of pollutants created by our 'civilization'.

The so-called 'Greenhouse' effect, the heating of the Earth itself, is a fact that many people would 'prefer not to believe' because they might have to change their lifestyle to one that is just a little less luxurious. The hotter the globe becomes, the more difficult it becomes to maintain adequate potable water supplies to world populations. Climate change. A different' debate?

The Greenhouse effect is not merely an 'inconvenient truth' as some call it. The globe is heating up, evidence is everywhere with ancient glaciers disappearing and rivers drying up; it does not matter whether you personally believe it or NOT.

Rich civilization is in denial'. A perfect euphemism for selective blindness'.
After all, if one prefers not to change, and chooses not to see the problem, it must not exist'.

Put blame aside for the moment, it is too
