Sorta makes a boy nostalgic for the good old days (say, circa 1969
or
thereabouts) when he could just walk across......at any time of
year.

Of course if TBone's scheme could be made to work, you could walk
across
again, as all the water would be in Colorado, Utah, Arizona, etc.
where
it
would obviously have more value than where it is now. And think of
all
the
additional arable land that would become available, not just in the
former
desert areas, but in the newly exposed lake beds. (and just in case
there
is
someone out there that needs this) 8)

T-Bone would like the NAWAPA. It's not completely dead.

Thus demonstrating once again that there is no idea so stupid that it
cannot
garner widespread support.

The American west doesn't need MORE water. What it needs is a few tens
of
millions LESS human parasites.

If you actually knew how to read and carry on a civil discussion you
would know that the 'water grid' of which I am a proponent would
simply balance the abundant water we have. As I sit in Dallas this
evening Texas is a drenched mess. In other places there is drought and
receding water levels. There is always too much water someplace and
always not enough in others. Yet there is no more or less water
available to the planet now than there ever has been in history. Water
defines 'renewable resource'. You simply can't waste it. My basic
point is that we should have the basic plumbing of this great planet
figured out by now.


O.k., let's cut through the bull****, shall we? Yes, it is certainly true
that I COULD pretend to take you seriously and, yes, it is conceivable that
I exert enough influence here that some others might also do so as a result.
But at some deep down level you KNOW that this would not, ultimately, help
you at all in dealing with your issues.......right?
