I can't believe anyone would ever take this idiot seriously. Doesn't anyone remember what he did to Cleveland a long time ago? Ran it into the ground.

While I agree on several of his water issues "Weathly nations should provide for the poor" is BS. If they don't have water, MOVE TO WHERE THE WATER IS! YOU LIVE IN A FRIGGING DESERT, NOTHING GROWS THERE, NOTHING'S GONNA GROW THERE!

Where to begin?

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

Or what? If they don't, do we sanction them? Bomb them? What punishment will be levied against countries that fail to comply? What if they just don't have the resources to meet these standards?

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

How much? Which nations pay what percent? But, gee, little questions like that aren't important, as long as your intentions are good.

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

Why is commodification bad? Do you know it will ALWAYS be harmful to trade water? Maybe that's the only way some countries will be able to provide the safe, drinkable water mandated above.

-Water shall be conserved through sustainable agriculture and encouraging plant-based diets.

Again, or what? Who gets to decide what counts as sustainable agriculture? Is it the business of governments to "encourage" (scary word when associated with government)everyone to be vegetarian?

-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?

Our children should be educated about the essential nature of water for maintaining life.

Pretty radical, controversial statement there. That will show all those people demanding we keep anything about water out of the public school curriculum.

Typical liberalism. Details, costs and results don't matter if your intentions are good.

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.
