-It shall be the duty of each nation to provide accessible, affordable drinking water to its peoples.

-There shall be public ownership of drinking water systems, subject to municipal control.

-Wealthy nations shall provide poor nations with the means to obtain water for survival.

-Water shall be protected from commodification and exempted from all trade agreements.

-Water privatization shall not be a condition of debt restructuring, loan renewal or loan forgiveness.

-Governments shall use their powers to prevent private aggregation of water rights.

General Jack D. Ripper: Mandrake, do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, Mandrake, children's ice cream.
Group Captain Lionel Mandrake: Lord, Jack.
Ripper: You know when fluoridation first began?
Mandrake: Aye, no, no. I don't Jack.
Ripper: Nineteen hundred and forty-six. Nineteen forty-six Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? Its incredibly obvious isn't it. A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual.

Oh wonderful, he supported the ousting of Saddam then? After all, Saddam cut off water in an effort to control groups that didn't support him... what? Kucinich was on Saddam's side????

Who’s the cockeyed Ohio-an
Who bankrupted Clev-e-land?
Well, he’ll never finish,
‘Cause Dennis Kucinich,
Is Sharpton without a tan.

-Water resources shall be protected from pollution.

Who would argue with this? But again, who pays for it, and how, and what do you do to those who fail to comply?
=========================================

Also, what is, and who decides, the defination of "pollution"? Will all countries be held equally liable or will developing countries (who will, and how is, that defined?)be given a pass?

[yankeedame]

Re #31: LOL! What a hoot! But drat you, now I'll have that song stuck in my head the rest of the day!

It's hard to improve on Mark Steyn's two-word description of Kucinich: "dimbulb peacenik."
