Water

Dear Alabama and Florida:

We are very sorry that there is no water in the Chattahoochee for you by the time it finally reaches your borders. Did we fail to mention that most of the river resides in our state? Maybe you should start looking into desalinization plants? And Florida...do retirees really need to drink water anyway? Can't they drink orange juice instead? Just a thought.

Love,

The State of Georgia, your Imperialist Neighbor

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to determine that completely unrestricted growth, a lack of available water (all lakes in GA, btw, are man made), a hundred year weather pattern of decreasing rainfall year over year means that you have less and less water to draw from.

Build more houses. Build more office spaces with ponds and lakes. Allow beautiful professional landscaping to be built that requires daily watering. Fail to fine people (yes, City of Alpharetta, I'm talking to you about that stretch of Old Alabama Connector where the businesses on both sides of the road water the ROAD every morning) who usage of sprinklers is improper. Don't get me started on the gradual de-forestation of our state. Or the dwindling presence of groundwater. Or the greed of politicians and corporations who sell entire forests of trees to paper rapers, who then fail to replant or replant with sub standard trees. You know trees attract moisture, right? Just checking.
