It's the age old question about your outlook on life - Is the glass half empty or is it half full?
Assuming that the glass contains the liquid water, I look at it as being full of hope, peace and possibilities.
Water as we all know is h20, two parts hydrogen to one part oxygen. Sp breaking down that glass question again.
assuming that the glass is six parts to be full. The halfway mark that is so debated in the question would be three sixth's full, or empty. That's 3/6ths. That bottom portion of the glass containing the much debated water contain one sixth or 1/6th oxygen and two sixths or 2/6ths hydrogen.
Hydrogen and oxygen are both highly flammable and explosive gases. The little glass is actually full of energy. An energy that surrounds us everywhere we are. The clouds in the sky, the rivers, the lakes, the streams, the creeks, the ponds, the seas, the oceans and even the polar ice-caps.
The world is full of energy all around us and it's plentiful, very plentiful. So why are we still so dependant on foreign crude oil for power? It's pretty clear to me that people aren't answering that glass question correctly. The glass is full of energy.
It's in everything we drink, your Coca Cola, your Starbuck's Latte and your iced tea, two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen.
There are parts of this world where oil income is the only income for trade with other nations. Oil, is a public welfare program for the middle east. Thanks, but I don't need sand, dates or pistachios, so we'll buy your oil. Imagine we do not need to have wars over oil. There is plenty of energy for everyone, it's just a welfare program for a less fortunate part of the world.
Sure, all of this energy is down at the atomic level and separating the elements would take a lot of effort. Imagine if we put the money and effort that we put into oil into new technologies that will extract all of that energy that if AL GORE is correct will be flooding all of the low lying coastlines when the ice caps melt due to global warming. Yeah okay, so let's capture all that water and turn it into lots of unlimited power.
There are other sources of energy out there such as newer safer nuclear energy.
So next time someone asks you whether you look at the glass 1/2 empty or 1/2 full, look them in the eye and tell them very firmly that it's 1/2 full with two very flammable explosive gases.
