69. The earth is here for all of us to use

Sun Apr 20, 2014, 05:11 PM

Apr 2014

ALL living things, including animals and plants. Cities hog and waste massive amounts of water. People living a rural life out west do not. They aren't running decorative fountains, fake "Venice" canals, and planing massive lawns suitable for only the east and south. And there is no "last gulp" of water. Water is always being replenished but it CAN be diverted which is what western water issues are always about and las Vegas wants to starve the rest of Nevada so a bunch of billionaires can make Sin City some kind of water wonderland. It's irresponsible and downright corrupt.

So, yeah, we ALL get to access water and, as I told you, in California the cities take a back seat to agriculture and rightly so because we all need to eat and they provide the food.
