After issuing a statement last week condemning Detroit’s decision to send water shut-off notices to tens of thousands of customers behind in their payments, the U.N now plans to conduct confidential policy discussions with the Obama administration to be followed by a formal public report to the U.N. Human Rights Council.On Monday, the U.N. Human Rights Council’s office in Geneva confirmed the U.N. plans to intervene directly in the Detroit water crisis, determined to apply international law to judge the U.S. in violation of human rights to safe water.LINK 4951

Screw the UN.Detroit should set up water stations in the city for those that didn't pay their water bills.  We SHOULD provide access to clean water but they can go to those centers with buckets to carry it home.  If they want water delivered to their homes, they should pay their damn bills! 4951

So the welfare nanny-state mentality has obviously spread.  I agree they should have ACCESS but it doesn't have to be curb-side free delivery if you don't pay for it.  Those who choose to sit back and live off others should not be spoon fed. 4951

A central pump or well is still how most third-world countries get their water.  Let the UN go busy themselves there providing water to each residence before they step foot in the US.  But, since WE pay most of the cost of the UN, forget that.  4951

IMO last resort to suck funds into the socialist city that is Detroit. In visiting this urban scape
resembles Kosovo much more than any American city.
 
Detroit,MI is a perfect example of all that has gone wrong. Their school funding per pupil
was more than many cities but dropout rates did nothing but accelerate.
 
Coming soon to a city near you if one refuses
to open your eyes..... 4951

If you read the WND article, "intervene" means (a) UN officials are going to speak to Obama directly about the issue, and (b) if they don't like the outcome of those discussions, they are going to use the bully pulpit of this particular office to speak out publicly. <yawn> 4951
