Why are we so secretive anyway.
Why wont the water people explain why they can't pump water everywhere, why the water isn't clean and why oh why they can't charge people for exactly the water they use or misuse. And ok, let's say I'm being mischievous by asking these questions: why dammit, why can't they specifically detail the scope of our problem and how they intend to get out of it. Why wont they account for all income and expenditure publicly. Countries under sanctions (of the wholesale type) tend to do well. Look at the South of Africa and umm old Germany *hides*. In my very lay mans view they both now make Volkswagens and other good things because the countrymen (and now women) at the time (bastards) had to work with what they had towards national targets. If I knew that in five years I'd have clean running water supplied by the government on tap wherever I went I'd be willing to be more careful with my consumption, quicker with my payment and I would snitch on my neighbour not being "patriotic".
Of course the water comes out of the tap when I want it but alas it's borehole water which costs the average person about $4,000 to install in a country where the majority, based on the nations united, are judged to be umm - poor, I guess. So water is not my problem and the nations united can work on other things...
My real problem should be laid bare, like sushi at Tokyo's do. Zesa! The Zimbabwe Electricty Supply Authority - although I've heard it said that The E. and the S. stand for "Electricity Sometimes".
Why won't the electricity people explain why they can't provide electricity all the time. And why they can't... Wait! Am I starting again? How about you reread the first paragraph and substitute water for electricity. Meanwhile I'll crank the generator so my pump will allow me to have a shower with borehole water. This, so I can be clean when I visit Zesa to discus the $2,000 electricity bill they sent me in obvious error! Thinking of the drive there, I've got to deal with potholes... Wonder what The road agency has planned regarding these...
Again I ask, why so secretive...
