"Those precious Shad and Red Legged Frogs will die in the yearly dust bowls."

I don't need to tell you that it's NEVER been about the fricken frogs!!!

It's all about "Home-a-phobia" and no growthers, NIMBY's and BANANAs perpetrating economic suffocation and "Eco-Tourism" (rafting, etc.) as their only solution to all of CA's problems!!!

It's just as stupid as them saying that conservation will solve all of CA's energy problems!!!

And NOW I'm being told that because local elected officials wanted the typical multi-purpose dam, instead of just a flood control dam at Auburn, that all such officials were "greedy," and stupid. I'm getting that right here on this forum!!!

Yes! Everybody with two or more brain cells to rub together knows that these Sierran rivers all used to dry up every August/September into puddles that killed all aquatic life except microscopic Ameobas that remind me of some of these little people using the government to suffocate everything, today!!!

From my lips ... and here's more ..

1) California has adequate water for agriculture, even on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley.
2) Flood control, which is necessary, is a much more cost effective than storage.
3) The clamor for more storage is to support social development, not farms.
4) The goal of modern environmentalism is the destruction of the concept of private property.

when decision-makers in Sacramento finally understand that California must store a lot more water in reservoirs or lose much of its agriculture.

Tell that to Vic Fazio or Robert Matsui. These two idiot dems shut down the Auburn Dam in favor of building-up levees to give us 80 yr flood protection, instead of the 200 yr protection the dam would have provided.

Now, it's about more storage to protect the delta or put the screws to the farmers. Where were they- and what the hell were they thinking twenty years ago?

The answer comes to us from places like Chicago. This state is equally infested with Blagoyeviches. Entrenched croynies each bilking their 'loyal' interest groups with no concern for what's good for the state in the larger picture, just to pad their political careers.

Campaign contributions have gotten us where we are today. Mr. Levee builder greased the palms better than Mr. Dam builder. Mrs. Whitewater Rafter served better cookies than Mrs. Farmer at fundraising events.

Heck, with enough contractor money guaranteed to end up in Darell Steinberg's political war chest, I bet we could get a gigantic phallus erected (pun intended) right next to the capitol- as a symbol of what this state government thinks of the taxpayers in this state.

"Up Yours, I'm in it for Me!" ought to be the plaque hanging over the entrance on L street.
