Last year around Atlanta the man-made lakes (no natural ones in GA) which provide all potable water were drying up despite court-mandated release of much of the remaining water just to keep the Purple Bank-Climber Mussels (I kid you not) downstream happy (they survived droughts before without our help). Lotsa words thrown around, but nothing physical happened.
I kept wondering what was going to happen when four million rednecks couldn’t flush.
Few Californians know that California as we know it shouldn’t exist. Go read/watch “Cadillac Desert”, documentary of how what was hardcore desert was turned into a lush breadbasket by wholesale statewide theft of water.
I’m finding out the hard way Atlanta is similar.
Considering inanimate/nonsentient objects can be sued, you have a point. Someone will realize how to turn those tables.
Considering what Pelosi said recently, maybe it’s closer than we think.
Pretty soon golden geese will be endangered..
America will have no more golden geese to lay any golden eggs..
People are not up in arms, because they are the frog in the slowly boiled pan of water.
This is what communism/socialism/PC-ism is doing to our country.
Which leads to two questions.
1) Where's Walter Duranty?
2) Where's Beria?
...and a third one.
What is the take of the Congressional and Senatorial delegations of California on this?
Need a photoshop of the ubiquitous Shephard Fairey poster of Obama, which reads not "Hope" but "Stalin".
Wow!
Glad to know I'm not the only one suspicious of government supplied water dependent farmers' supposed 'right' to grow crops in a desert.
I support independent farmers who maintain their own water supplies, in areas naturally conducive to farming.
Enough of Big Agriculture and their collectivist irrigation schemes. They always wind up soaking the taxpayers, while the Resnick-of-Beverly Hills types cash out!
(Excuse me while I put on my flame-proof suit.)
By not turning the water on, they have a slim chance.
