4. PRIVATIZE THE LAKES!

Wed May 2, 2012, 09:46 AM

May 2012

Sell the water for maximum profit. Coca Cola and Pepsi should be able to market the water as "HURON"...though "ERIE" might not do well with focus groups.

Only part sarcastic...this is going to happen, folks. That is too much fresh water just sitting there. Water is the new oil. The new gold. I guarantee some douche bag Republican money-scammer already is working on plans. They're just waiting for the right people to get so desperate that privatizing Great Lakes water distribution will seem like a good thing. As long as enough people make enough money from it.
