I like the idea of having one or two of them around ...just as a reminder of how utterly baseless, sophomoric, foolhardy, pretentious, illogical, and just plain old 'lacking in common sense' ....the precepts and beliefs of the far left, truly are!

she is not one of the good ones.

i liked jhankg, dont know where he is latley.

Kind of like the irony of paying high prices for oil and transferring our wealth ...to countries whose leaders ...and many of their populations despise us ...in the middle east and south American when those exact same resources could be easily 'harvested' off that same Cali. coast ...as well as the Gulf of Mexico ...with no need for any newly discovered technology ...simply by using the technology readily available today!

No oversimplification necessary!

it seems odd, but free to almost free water wins every time compared to costly water.

You dont see folks clamoring to build these multi hundred million dollar facilities, then greenies lining up to buy the costly water out of guilt. They want cheap water, just like farmers want cheap water, or cheap gas.

the farmers are bad people though. They are wicked, making money off mother nature.

best to live in a section 8 apartment and do nothing ... that is divine.

If desalized water was going to take off anywhere in america it would be in cali.

Parts of the middle east thats about all they drink in UAE, qatar, kuwait etc.

California is mostly full of phonies. Even greenies like etta would never pay for it, she would demand it be as cheap or cheaper than tap water or she wouldnt stand for it.

Plus if anyone managed to do it and make money off it, despite the savings to the environment, her and her socialist crew would demonize the folks who dared making money off it.

Its a no win situation.

Just odd to me that of all the places to live, so many greenies live in san jose, san diego, la etc, its completely unnatural. Yet they preach nature like they are some tribesman living in a tee pee living off the land.

There are probably more people in California walking around with boob jobs, face lifts, butt lifts and tummy tucks than any other State, and there are probably more of them following the latest fashion fad or Hollywood trend, than any other State ... But it's really not a State issue, it's more of a vanity issue, and California seems to have a lot of really vane people, who don't mind telling the rest of the world about all of their faults.

These phony people can be found just about anywhere, but the real aspect is ... Bill slammed Etta into the wall, and called her out for what she is.

In fact, he did such a good job that she stated she was putting him on ignore.

At one time she had many of her opposition on ignore.
6-8 people, if my memory is correct.
History repeats itself

Congratulations ... Bill
You've made the list ... Again !!!!
Now that she's not reading what you write, you can tell us what you think of her without being interrupted

It never ceases to amaze me how people who ostensibly embrace a theory of origins that hypothesizes countless species coming and going extinct over the ages want to somehow freeze-frame the natural world exactly where it is today and nothing should ever change. Should we be good stewards of the natural world? Absolutely, but I fail to see a difference between a localized minnow going extinct due to the needs of the human population vs. getting wiped out due to a meteor impact splashing their native lake all over a couple dozen square miles. The romaticized days when humanity could theoretically exist in perfect harmony with the natural world ended a couple thousand years ago and it's foolish to push for a zero-impact world.

It's a wonder that mankind still exists after the demise of the Passenger Pigeon.

Man that is eerily similar to the situation I read about on here months ago detailing someone's local town being subsidized for farming and then the government -- the same one who lured farmers in with incentives -- shut off water to try and save an insignificant fish. The farmers kept sneaking in and turning the water back on until the gooberment physically cut the pipeline IIRC. I can't find the Wiki link..
