In spite of the fact that the country produces excellent mineral water, almost every bar and restaurant has started to serve Dasani within a 2 year time frame. Just because of agressive marketing, healthy mineral water produces by local businesses has been replaces by pimped tap water.

China creates a new power station every how many days? - While global warming speeds up - but hey, they're only doing what we did. Kids in Uzbekhastan are taken out of school to pick cotton, so we can have cheap clothes. Politicians are groomed by style consultants and spin doctors and PR agencies, never looking beyond the next five year power-trip.
