Have you ever wondered where the drinking water you receive comes from? Where do those pipes originate? You’d be surprised to know they lead to a government supplier. Is that a good thing though? Does the government do the water-providing job adequately? Or should we give the reigns to a private company? I naturally took the position of the government. A government is created to protect its citizens, and what better way of doing so than by providing the most valuable resource known to man man. Since the government has the job description of helping its citizens, they deserve the ownership of drinking water. Also, the government has an obligation to the environment and its welfare. Laws are set up restricting the government’s actions in accordance to the environment. That way, both the people and the environment are protected. Since water is fundamental to life, the only entity capable of withholding such a responsibility. After all, the government is made of citizens, and the citizens are made of water; what better of a link do you need than that?!
