Many urban planners and conservationists now see water replacing oil as the new precious commodity this century. It’s conceivable that the next wars will be fought over the wet stuff. Arizona, California and New Mexico are all struggling with droughts, but it’s not just the Southwest. Atlanta and parts of the Old South are drying up as, well…

Many Southern and Western members of Congress just turned their backs on the Midwest in their gleeful rejection of the Big Three auto loan. Well, boys and girls, we have what you need. And when your water supply runs out in the next decade or two, don’t come crying to us. We might have been shortsighted and put all our eggs in the automotive industry. But at least we weren’t stupid enough to live in places we couldn’t survive.
