I understand, fuck the South. The problem is the South will emigrate
to the North as the shortages and war ravage the land. The North
already has a crisis with immigration so you go and figure.
Perhaps you'll agree with me that a REVOLUTION is necessary for the
South. Nothing like Chavez, just something smart that uses PREVENTION
as the first strategy. Actually we may use some of the water
technologies put in place by Israel. They collect the rain and make
the kibbutz bloom in the desert. Or is it something you only want for
yourself?

Brazil is not a dictatorship and it accounts for the most
deforestation in the world. If America is falling short in planning
imagine the South.

And CORRUPTION, such as here in Miami Beach. That's even more sad than
incompetence. Everybody trying to make a buck without concern for the
world. The predator only cares about himself and his family. They
steal a few million bucks in Brazil and then come here. Then they mix
with the Jews, the Cubans, the Venezuelans, and everybody else, and
make this fortress called Millionaire's Row their first row
accommodation to look at the ocean. Waiting, for the next big
hurricane to hit the area. Yes, it's coming.

I think bringing Western Culture to Africa is a disaster as a whole.
They are OK without Jesus and cars.

Yeah, a necessary disaster. Was the Holocaust necessary?
Perhaps it was for the birth of the State of Israel. Everything has a
positive side. In a twist of fate, they owe a lot to Hitler.

You must have missed this:
"A shortage of water resources could spell increased conflicts in the
future. Population growth will make the problem worse. So will climate
change. As the global economy grows, so will its thirst. Many more
conflicts lie just over the horizon." -- Ban Ki-Moon
