Excited Delirium

It seems like water control is coming much faster than we ever could have imagined.

“State officials say that water rights belong to ‘people that live downstream’, but they will keep their distance for now”.

Here’s an interesting little video that captures news of violations in Utah:

So, it’s here.  The right to collect rainwater has been turned into a permit requirement and legal issue.  Give it a few months of drought and this will get nasty.

Canada:  lock up your H2O because they’re a-comin!

Did you hear that?  The US just invaded another country.  Oh.  You didn’t?  You wouldn’t if you were watching TV.  It wasn’t really reported.  If it was, it was stated that the US has had some kind of presence in Pakistan for years.

Who’s next?  Iran?  India?  Canada?

When will we make them stop?

Here are some stories related to the attack:

The Guardian UK on the US attack of Pakistan.

Some copy from the People’s Forum article:

American forces launched a raid inside Pakistan Wednesday, a senior U.S. military official said, in the first known U.S. ground assault in Pakistan against a suspected Taliban haven. The government condemned the attack, saying it killed at least 15 people.

The American official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of cross border operations, told The Associated Press that the raid occurred on Pakistani soil about one mile from the Afghan border. The official didn’t provide any other details.
