These energy power brokers, Enron, Exxon, etc...have a strangle hold not only on US politics, but global politics as well. Privatizing a resource as simple as water, is a sign that we are headed for an era of endless wars. Wars based on scarce resources. Fossil Fuels being only the most obvious. <BR/><BR/>These candidates will not talk about energy issues with any nuance, because their puppet masters cannot afford any more "green" hype. The same reason, neither candidate has spoken the words IMF, World Bank, or privatization.<BR/><BR/>I've added the book to my wish list. It looks great.Intrepidflamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16185093331334990403noreply@blogger.com
