Somebody (Twain perhaps?) once said that water was for fighting over and I'm pretty sure that over the coming years and decades that will be the case. If you pay attention to the news you probably all heard about Atlanta's issues in late 2007. Thanks to the power of Governor Sonny Perdue's prayers, Lake Lanier's water levels have risen 5 inches and Atlantans everywhere can get back to their normal lives again. (What's that you say? There's still more than 20 FEET to go to get Lake Lanier back to normal? Those pesky details just get in the way.)
Well, now it seems that rather than actually taking any rigorous steps toward addressing the root of the water supply problems in Atlanta, some in the Georgian legislature feels the appropriate step is to simply change the state's boundary with Tennessee so that the state has access to a Tennessee reservoir.
Can somebody stop the madness? Please.
