As we head into the summer months in the North we almost certainly will start pushing open the spigots and watering our lawns and using water in a carefree manner. Can I ask that we just reflect on this activity and many others that we do in the coming months? Attached is a quick article outlining some of the hazard areas around the world that are currently facing drought situations. These situations will only grow and not recede given the lack of consisent water conservation efforts around the globe. There is more extensive drilling for water than ever before. Rates of water desalinasation is growing rapidly. It can't be sustained at current rates.

If you view the article the problem areas are not just located in certain regions such as sub-sarharan africa. Instead its a widespread issue. This issue, of course, dovetails into Jonathan's recent articles on food shortages and food riots. This is an issue that will not go away. It links us all around the globe and we cannot make decisions for ourselves without talking and thinking of other peoples.

Its obvious then to that we have effective leadership in the White House/State Departmetn/Interior/Commerce to work and lead the world on these issues. We MUST elect Democrats to any and all offices throughout the land. At the end it doesn't really matter if its Hillary or Barack. Either person is far better than the alternative. Once we stop beating each other up(yes someday I will stop) the job is to back the Nominee and get them elected as well as other Representatives and Senators.
