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.

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.)
