Waterworld

Today, let's talk about water...or soon to be lack there of. An article in The Reader this week brings to light that western states, such as Nevada, are already very worried about its water situation and said western states would love to extend a giant straw/pipe to our great lakes. But this move is unlikely, with Nevada more likely to consider desalinization plants. Then the story shifts gears and talks about all the lovely legal wrangling over the situation in our Great Lakes region.

But, my mind started to wander at one thought. I guess, people, that we have our next oil. Already, Fortune magazine has plainly stated "Water promises to be the 21st century what oil was to the 20th century: the precious commodity that determines the wealth of nations." Hmmm.....

So, any of you budding entrepreneurs have the capital to buy/invest in some lakes? Sure, you probably will never capitalize on any of the spoils, but your great-great grandchildren will think you were a genius. I just can't believe that crappy Kevin Kostner movie "Waterworld" might actually come true...

Musically, how about a fresh remake of Nas classic? "Life's a bitch" and fittingly, "Waterworld" featuring Encore off Handsome Boy Modeling School, So How's Your Girl?
