With His Holiness The Dalai Lama, at His home in Dharamsala, India (Synthesis Dialogues - made into a movie narrated by Harrison Ford)
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
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 The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
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.
