I'm talking about the payoff for society that the government is supposed to represent, not just a few investors. It is the same issue that goes for all essential goods. There are no technical reasons for shortages of any kind.

And on a more serious note, why hasn't California tried getting water from the ocean?

Profit margins are too low, and you know, politics. It's something only the state can do. And it would pay off extremely well.

Que?

Companies have much bigger, um, teats... You can say that, right?

Kcho, whoever he is...

FTS:
"Kcho, who has close ties to the Cuban government..."

Gets you anything you want...

Hell they're more respected than Fox News...

Well they're not afraid to print the truth! They're second only to Al Jazeera.. or the New Yorker.. I always get those two mixed up

That's why god created sinks! - HH

I may starve, but I sure won't freeze... And a mule still makes for pretty reliable transportation.. and communications are through drug induced telepathy..

Because for about $100 cash I can bribe an official...

That was maybe 30 years ago. You need between 5 and 10 thousand now.. if you want a professional.. But hell, you can buy an American with that kind of money, and get better service..

Government is corrupt no matter where you are. Politicians are bought and sold like trinkets at the bizarre. The Mexicans just happened to be on the wrong end of the big stick. I hear they want to start locking you up for downloading movies and music.. Justice at its best, it seems

Wake me when you figure out who finances it all, and where the orders come from. Your ignorance is simply overwhelming. That you choose to stay that way is something else.

Mexico is a sovereign nation.

Unfortunately no. There's no such thing. A funny thing happened on 9/11.. Pretty effective deterrent against subversive activity, don't you think?

...but at least here we don't have to worry about having our heads chopped off or being raped by the police...

Deeper in the rabbit hole you go. And that list is very incomplete. Now, feel free to play your numbers game. It will be duly noted. Oh, and let's see what happens if you put up even the tiniest bit of resistance, no matter how justified.

2011, and the bigotry is as pervasive as ever. Hard to believe it's real

It's your broken culture that produces the violence seen here. Sure, we have some problems with violence, but nothing remotely like what's seen there.

*cough* Yeah, we know. You've off shored that too.

I don't believe I've ever seen anybody so swallowed up in the media trap. You are so high on the blue pill you literally don't see beyond your own skin. One thing you do show, your politicians are made in your image... Thank you for a most educational perspective. Pero huele muy feo el pedorro
