Spoke to Skiles, and he says he only shot the film, did not have
anything to do with the story. Everyone's disappointment with this lies
in the missed opportunity to explain the importance of the resource.
Even Stone apparently feels this way, according to Skiles, but then
Stone is done for good in this arena, so what he has to say now
post-clusterfuck is as worthless as everything else that has ever come
out of his mouth. 

 I did not see the film, but heard that it does the usual: claims WKPP
results for a bunch of clowns, plain and simple.

 My objection is to Skile's "raise the ante" comment below. There is no
amount of money that can match the ante where we have it now, and that
is well proven and documented.

  Also, Butt and the rest of these hypocrites ( like Chrissy "Mr.
Liberal"  Brown ) spent enough time wtih NGS people that one would
expect the real story to have been mentioned, given that the Chairman of
the Board of National Geographic is a well-known water environmentalist.

  Guess what : I TOLD YOU SO !!!!!!!
