A couple of years ago there was a public meeting about Arizona and Utah "sharing" water with Nevada. It was similar to the "two wolves and a sheep discussing what to have for dinner", only it was "one grizzly" (Nevada) doing the same with two sheep.
I hectored that group about who was sponsoring the meeting and what they would get from it, and other disputations of their "global warming" as a justification for the grab of our water rights.
There were about 50 people there and NOT ONE DAMNED ONE OF THEM backed me up. I looked around, into their faces, and discovered the meaning of "bovine intelligence".
The meeting broke up with no resolution and I had a local reporter ask my name as I had "brought up some good questions". Nothing ever showed up in the paper.
At this point in history, I am looking out for me and mine - and devil take the hindmost. As others have mentioned, this country has had it. The only people I see raising Hell are some of those on this board - and folks - we aren't that many.
And please don't give me the "cut and run" bullshit that usually pops up after one of these "I've had it screeds". You are pissing in the wind if you think you can make a difference.
