Private Water Only Causes More Woes – Erin Brockovich and Suzanne Boothby

Privatization is irresponsible. By privatizing water and sewer systems, local government officials abdicate control over a vital public resource.

Privatization limits public accountability. Multinational water corporations are primarily accountable to their stockholders, not to the people they serve.

The objectives of a profit-extracting water company can conflict with the public interest. A water corporation has different goals than a city does. It makes its decisions using a different set of criteria, often one that emphasizes profitability. This can create conflict.

Investorowned utilities typically charge 59% more for water service than local government utilities. Food & Water Watch compiled the water rates of the 500 largest community water systems in the country. We found that private, for-profit companies charged households an average of $501 a year for 60,000 gallons of water. That’s $185 more than what local governments charged for the same amount of water. Read the report: The State of Public Water in the United States. …

The Wild Side

The Twisting Tail

He was unheeded, happy, and near to the wild heart of life. He was alone and young and wilful and wildhearted, alone amid a waste of wild air and brackish waters and the seaharvest of shells and tangle and veiled grey sunlight.

Jon Krakauer

…and he dies
alone and wild
in the end

…but, dies happy?
Who can say
of wild things


I was born to be wild
At least that’s the excuse I use
When I pee on the house plants


The term "wild" when applied to plants or plant species refers to those that grow spontaneously in self-maintaining populations in natural or semi-natural ecosystems and can exist independently of direct human action.


At two in the morning
I walked to a nearby golf course

Through
Pitch black darkness

I found my way
To the seventh green
And lay in the evenly cropped grass

Head against the cool earth

Memória

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Em todos os momentos, a vida é revestida por Memória. A memória é a consciência que se anexa a mente do ser humano, um fato, ou acontecimento que permanece arquivada em nossas lembranças ( memory), e fica guardada a vida toda. É por isso que, todas vezes que existe um evento onde é ativado essa parte da cognição humana referente a um determinado fato, você vai lá na sua ” gaveta” ou seja, aonde guarda as suas informações e busca algum traço de referência com o acontecimento atual. O nosso cérebro guarda muitas informações, e as nossas habilidades motoras, sensitivas intelectual, acabam contando com a ajuda desses dados sobre tudo aquilo que nos ocorre. A verdade é que, fatos, ideias, acontecimentos e situações de modo geral, todos esses eventos, ficam guardados no inconsciente. É por isso que comparei a memória a um arquivo, tudo que você precisa guardar, deixa lá…

विडंबना / Irony

Kaushal Kishore

हम बोल तो देते हैं कुछ भी
किसी के भी बारे में,
लेकिन हमे पता ही नहीं चलता,
कब हवा का एक झोंका
मोड़ देता है उसे
वापस अपनी ओर…

🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

We say anything
about anyone,
but we never know,
when a gust of wind
turns it back
towards us…
