"Don't critize the farmers with your mouthful, idiots."

LOL! I rate that quip a 10+.

RE: "Perhaps if illegal immigration was curbed there might be a better balance of natural resources."

BUMP!

RE: "As part-owner of a private well, this kind of thing scares the hell out of me. My county started making noise about taking over private wells a couple of years ago. The mass of people who showed up at the meeting scared the supervisors so much that the topic was shelved."

Now THAT has a familiar ring to it...

Well, when ground water is used for agriculture, does it not return to the ground?

LOL!
Yes, but the politicians want control of the water, so they can tax it. They'll start by putting meters on private wells...Just to monitor how much is being used, of course. They know that the population at large falls for the junk science routine everytime and has no interest in the plight of the farmers.
