67. The One Percent already are....

and that is terrifying.

Water rights *are* being bought up all over the world by major corporations right now. History shows that the price of water rises exponentially once major corporations are involved.

One and one make two. We face a grave problem in years to come, if we do not get our act together and fight back against this tide of rising corporate domination. We think price gouging and speculation on gasoline are bad....Wait 'til they have control of the world's drinkable water.

Corporations have no conscience, simply by virtue of what they are. They have no morality, no ethics, no loyalty to anything except the bottom line. They exist to profit, and lives and suffering don't figure into the spreadsheets. That is why it is so dangerous to cede our government, our lives, and the lives of our children, to them. They are coming for the world's fresh drinking water. They are coming for our children's education. They are coming for everything.

They intend to corral us to make a profit from every move we make, every need we have, every single aspect of our lives, from the moment we are born to the moment we die. We are not human beings to these corporate ghouls. We are human resources for them to squeeze dry of every cent and discard.
