Questions about Water and Latin America

1) What did you learn from the video?  Do you think its fair that a corporation can own a country's water? The idea of owning water in the first place is a stupid idea. That's like saying you own the sky or own the pinecones on the pine tree. Water is a natural resoucre and if anyone owns it, it's the Earth. You cannot own something that they whole world uses and put a price on it. Owning water is a stupid idea! If people are dying over this thought of owning water than our world is not worth saving!

I feel they had every right to do what they did. In fact, if I were one of them I would do everything in my power to get the higher ups to realize that what they are doing is stupid and there's no common sense in it. People are dying over this matter of "owning water" water cannot be owned and people who do own water are nothing, but satan in suits!
