If you have something to say, do it in a forum where I can respond.

Oh yeah, the other thing they do. They run away when shouting down,talking over and interrrupting no longer grants them immunity from logic and honest debate.

Surely all of y’all have read ugly stories about what happened in lifeboats?

Then after I got old, I just tell them that I don’t talk to idiots anymore, I have better things to do with what time I have left.

Water Wars are coming. First to the south and then the southwest. We can only hope that the state and federal governments start taking care of energy business and stop worrying about clams and frogs and snakes and such before it gets nasty.

You can’t live without water. You can live without the rest of the things that the “greens” and progressives think are more important than the rest of us.

Oh I try. Getting them to listen is another matter. Some of them follow me around from blog to blog to defend their elitism.

Liberals are good at sharing, not so good at listening. And by sharing, I mean sharing other peoples things. Not their own.

Want to do something to help? Boycott ethanol. You be saving the Planet. And a whole lot of water. And that’s a good thing.

The gov’t will probably still fund it, regardless of how useful/useless a thing is.

Here is the problem. The Government will not say no. Until of course, it is too late.

Ask any liberal about nuclear energy and they will tell you all the reasons it is evil. But these same people tell you that you are evil unless you live in a small condo and walk or drive a Prius. If you have to mow a lawn, you are an evil land hoarder. Anything bigger than a Prius and you are killing the Planet.

Ask a liberal about desalinization, they will tell you it is evil. So now when the Government must choose who gets water, people or mollusks, the simple solution is to just take water from someone else, who doesn’t need it for themselves.

So the clear answer is to come and take water from Tennessee for both Georgia and Alabama and let them continue to over build. Hippies are happy, Government is happy, and builders are happy. And we put off the inevitable cluster fuck for another ten years.

But what about the people in Tennessee that need water?

The people of Georgia will tell them to stop building houses and shopping malls. That is what the people of Florida tell the people of Georgia because that Georgia water is needed for Oyster Po-Boys.

In Liberalism there is no concept of self reliance. It is about sharing. You know how that works. Share from the people that have it, to the people that don’t have it, until there is nothing to share anymore. You can sing that to the Beatles tune “The Taxman”.

Liberals tell us high density housing is the answer to all our problems. It is suburban sprawl that causes all our problems. If we would just live closer together we wouldn’t even need a car. The great destroyer of worlds. Al Gore said so, so it must be true. Of course the real problem with that idea is that you often cannot choose where you will work. So getting rid of the car is not that easy. All when there is no grass anywhere, when it is all concrete, then you have many water pollution woes. Too many imperviable surfaces.

Letting hippies design the future is fraught with peril. They are good at finding problems, not so good at finding solutions.

So the question before us is, should Tennessee trustingly give some of its water to Georgia and Alabama. Or should we tell them to study up on self reliance?

And ethanol is a big joke being played on the gullible.

So who wants to setup a “Florida Non-Sentient Bivalve Desalinization Board” and ask Congress for massive grants to “study the long-range ramifications of introducing artificially enhanced water onto an ethnically diverse mixture of future-sentient exoskeletal Americans”? (Translation: See what happens when you pour fresh water on a buncha oysters and clams.)

If we really wanted to displace some fossil fuels, we must remove the tariff on Brazillian Ethanol from sugarcane (far far more efficient), but our farmer lobbyists keep that one in place. If we wanted energy independence, we have to do something else, ’cause we burn more foreign fossil fuels to create that domestic Ethanol.

Ethanol is popular with corn farmers and refiners though, our taxes are being used to line their pockets well through those subsidies. Outrageous.

I hate to point out the obvious but a water desalination plant in Florida would solve all these problems.

There is a desal plant on the Gulf coast, but it’s small, and the process is so expensive that they have not had sufficient economic justification to build more.

It’ll work itself out eventually, because water will become prohibitively expensive in Florida, and people will stop moving here. But it’ll take a crash, because all the local and state politicians care about are the property tax revenues from all the shiny new houses and condos.

Wonder where we will steal water from when we run out?

I hate to point out the obvious but a water desalination plant in Florida would solve all these problems. How can the Government be so dumb?
