From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
No doubt. Water is perhaps the most essential "asset" remaining to be control (with the possible exception of clean air). With the decline in clean fresh drinkable water, we'll see mass movements of people, resulting in a overload in existing economic/social systems. Nations will wage economic war to oobtain it and keep it. If that doesn't work, they will wage military operations to either capture and control it or render it unusable by the other side.
I would take issue with the words "next" and "nations". Specifically, if "nations" aren't already surreptitiously fighting over water, I don't imagine any one nation declaring war over water, any more than a war wwas fought in Iraq over oil.
Yes oil is important, water is important, but the decision makers in countries around the world have ways of keeping both resources flowing.
No rush.
