Questions(?) I Think Not!

1) What did you learn from the video?  Do you think its fair that a corporation can own a country's water? 
I don't think it's fair at all! I think its stupid and insane, companies owning water? You cannot own water, it's nobody's to own... it repeats a cycle how can you own it! Your water could end up in a different part of the world! Society will easily fall apart! Water is water, it cannot be own...it is for the public not the private.  
2) Do you think the people of Bolivia had a right to react the way they did?
Of course the people had the right to act like they did! It makes sense, if you steal something and make it yours, like water, and make people buy it back...that will upset the people. You're just asking for protests! The bottom line is, you cannot take something from the people when it is rightfully anyones and not one persons alone!

Peru would be one of my favorite places in South America. It is rich in our ancient history,  The Inca Empire and later the major viceroyalty of Spanish South America. THe only reason I mention Peru is because the photography of the Inca ruins. It inspires me to actually learn some stuff about Peru. Plus, Peru has beautiful beaches, the llamas(!), and magnificent landscape.
