CONVERSATION 101 STUDIES - 

The brilliant CEO or TYCOON with whom you will be dining  tonight or partying with next weekend,  will not expect, --but will certainly WELCOME -- interesting stories, anecdotes, timely 'news'  from you. MEN are basically bored after fifty. If he's at some huge function and you suddenly are by his side, ask 'you look like a man who'd know about legislation. What is the deal with this new law.....etc." Peruse the stuff that he can't get on CNN! To do this, you will need diverse sources of inspiration. Here are some websites that have the best info on quirky, fascinating, ecclectic subjects. Men are busy;they don't have time to bone up on this stuff. They appreciate a woman who's "up on stuff." And in this area, our STUFF defines us!

THE THEFT OF WATER. Can our water be stolen and sold back to us? FRIENDS of THE G.O.P/ U.S. President ... a clique of VERRRY rich international financiers (who own an infamous corporation named "BECHTEL")  and some other gentlemen, who own THAMES WATER are buying the water rights in third world countries and SELLING them back to the peasant, to the indigent, rural people, who are already impoverished and who can't grow crops as things stood before this insult. Is this a way to steal farmer's lands? YEP! INTERNAT'l AGRIBIZ rolling out the famine carpet?  YOU BET!  Read up on activist RAJENDRA SINGH. Just google his name + water those two things. READ UP ON IT. This guy is the CESAR CHAVEZ OF WATER. THE LORD of WATER.

Start reading those wonderful journalistic pieces which avant garde journalists collected and INTERNET preserved! Bless those guys with their ears to the ground listening to distant drumbeats....as they discovered the next GANDHI and are letting us know about this complicated, dangerous, scary issue.

Be there or be square. And very thirty and parched and dry! And paying l00 times the money for food!
He who controls the water controls the land controls the food controls the people.
