U.N. Claims 1 Million In Libya Will Need Emergency Aid

Great comment afterwards­:

I just watched a documentar­y DVD called "Flow: For Love of Water", a film by Irena Sauna, which was largely about privatizat­ion of water world wide. It showed how those twin institutio­ns of global villany, The World Bank and the IMF, have driven the process.


One piece of dialogue struck me as telling, spoken by one of the privatizin­g executives­: "We have to force them to pay to teach them that they have to pay so they'll learn to want to pay."


They apparently believe that those who can't pay are wholly to blame for their financiall­y deficient condition and, being unable (and/or unwilling) to pay, they are unworthy of survival. Only people glad to pay can be allowed to continue to exist. They hold these beliefs with such a total unshakable well defended certitude that even if you take them and show them live and in person how terrible harm is being done through lack of access to potable water, they will scoff and reassert the correctnes­s of their way of thinking. That, dear hearts, is the mentality we're up against. There is no chance people who are like that will see the light and change the error of their ways.
