Debunking myths what do you say to new possible recruits who turn down the Agency because they don’t want to be tortured/disapprove of joining a team that does and how does one “exit” the CIA alive?

I understand your disagreeing, and I like the theoretical idea of giving "each citizen a property right in his nations water wealth" [Water Rights and Human Rights, pg.7-too lazy to APA right now], but IMHO, seems like naive idea because it would actually solve the issue and grant sustainable free rights to people which probably will never make it to the world's $ system.

I am not sure which idea would be better to protect and actually deliver the access to clean water to people who need it most, if whether to "private property" or "community asset" at this point. I am sure you have better thoughts on this. As that article had previously implied, the problem, such as the right to food didn't save "1.02 billion people or prevent 6 million children from starvation" [FAO,2009]. The issue is in fact the point I believe you are trying to make to point out to us, is the actual lack of a system to back up the protection of human rights in a global arena versus how we plot the issue itself? Please guide me in the right direction if that is not accurate...

I see property rights makes corporations viably responsible from a law of land ruling versus giving people free clean water from their own naturally available resources. I am not well read on cases of people suing their governments for not providing them of their alienable rights to food and water as there probably have not been many works in the legal frame scope other than the corporate contamination issues, but I really am grateful for your sharing the proper reading articles to help us think better and be more educated on the issues. Thank you for this thread.

Thank you again. Will absolutely read your book. Its an exciting topic.

In the United States, particularly Utah, Colorado and Washington, it is illegal to harvest water. In other words, people cannot save and collect rain water for their consumption. This is a direct violation of international law particularly of:

The United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights adopted general comment No. 15 on the right to water, as the right of everyone “to sufficient, safe, acceptable, physically accessible and affordable water for personal and domestic uses.”

Any law that prohibits them to gather water, or in fact be charged by government for tap water is in fact also violating the human right to water.

What can be done to correct this?
