[Mb-civic] NYTimes.com: Once a Vision of Water, Mexico's Capital Now Thirsts for It

[Ian]

E-Mail ThisAs I noted back when the gas "crisis" occurred after the two hurricanes, while everyone is worrrying about oil, the crisis we should be worrying about is water.  Already, one of out three people on earth do not have potable water.  And as we pollute our water, land (which leaches into the water table), and air (which inevitably finds its way to the ocean), water will become scarcer and scarcer - in spite of Evian, Poland Spring and Dasani.  (And maybe partly because of them...)

Peace.

                                Thank You For Smoking opens March 17th

                                Nick Naylor, chief spokesman for Big Tobacco, makes his living defending the rights of smokers and cigarette makers in today's neo-puritanical culture. Confronted by health zealots and an opportunistic senator, Nick goes on a PR offensive, spinning away the dangers of cigarettes.
