Estimated US population (July, 2008): 303,824,640 people.
Estimated cost to solve the water crisis: $10,000,000,000
The price, I would guess, would be closer to $50 per person, if you include the people who can't and won't pay. This does not include those who are willing to pay more. This does not include non-Americans. If there was/is an organization that most American's could donate $50 to, and get a $50 tax break for it, I believe this problem could be solved.
Why bother? The lack of clean water is responsible for death of more people everyday than anything else. This is a serious problem, to say the least. Humans are dying. Our brothers, our sisters, our young ones. Dead. Never to breath again. Humans are the only species created with God's image, and we are letting them suffer.
Why has nothing been done? My guess, a lack of awareness, a lack of organization, and a lack of resources.
What do I propose? Someone with a voice needs to step up to the plate. Become the voice of an organization that can solve this problem, and provide the appropriate tax breaks for donations. I would like to see a plan form to get $10b on Christmas day 2009. Run commercials, have conventions, throw rallies, organize concerts, start websites, get the word out. Then, on Christmas day, provide the necessary funds to save millions around the world. Remind everyone that Christmas is about hope, salvation, and love.
Crazy, ain't it? I don't think I can do anything about this, but I figure getting the word out can't hurt.
There is so much more I want to put here, but much more and this will get dull.
