You'd Think Water Would be a Basic Right

"On July 6, 2009, Asmus wrote an opinion-based article for the Sacramento Bee, entitled 'You'd Think Water Would be a Basic Right.' In the article, he talks about how people in some of the poorest regions of the world, whether it is Nairobi, Kenya or Central California or elsewhere, lack the fundamental right to clean and safe water. Whether these people have a voice or not, it is ultimately up to the politicians to decide their fate."

It's really sad. I never thought to compare myself to people in places such deferred backward world.
While I invest money and giving myself to enjoy the mineral water I get rapidly and directly from a truck, every week sharp, to my house, some people even don't have simple water to drink! sad.
