WORDS MATTER


“Man's current concern over water reflects a serious, worldwide shortage in the midst of plenty. For while it is a fact of nature that water swamps nearly three-fourths of the earth's surface, it is also an ironic truth that it cannot always be found where it is needed, when it is needed, in the amounts that are required. Of the 326,071,300 cubic miles of water on earth, 97.2% is in the oceans, unfit to drink, too salty for irrigation. Another 2% lies frozen and useless in glaciers and icecaps. The tiny usable fraction that is left is neither evenly distributed nor properly used.” ([TIME] Oct. 1, 1965)


‘Death come as clear
as a glass of water,brimming the rim,wetting the lips with life.’ (‘Tidings’, 43) -- British Virgin Islands writer, lecturer and editor Richard Georges 

"Today, the House is voting to repeal and replace the disaster known as Obamacare." — President Donald Trump Thursday minutes after the House GOP leadership decided to postpone the vote til Friday
