O.K. I will play along. What would the UN do with the water? a) Drink it all themselves? b) give it to cows? c) give it rich folks? d) spread it out evenly so everyone has enough to stay alive? What happens when resources are sparse, there is no government entity as moderator, and everyone wants more? a) The country with the best weapons gets it? b) Anarchy and war erupts? c) The company with the money to buy it 1) sells it to the highest bidder? 2) allocates to the poor bwfore selling to the rich? My opinion? War and anarchy. Social Darwinism. The rich get richer and the poor die of thirst. kelly.cowan@ebbs.cts.com
