When I moved to CA some decades ago, the first thing I did was to go to Yosmite. Appalled by the crowds, traffic and commercialization in the "valley", I looked at the map and headed over to the next valley to start into the back country. I remember being appalled (today I'd say troubled - LOL) that there was this huge dam (Hetch Hetchy)in a National Park (and one of the first ones at that).

How can the enviro-weenies in SF possibly force themselves to use water stolen from its rightful ecological location by a huge manifestation of the industrial world, shipped hundreds of miles from a despoiled (effectively by these very people) natural enviromental treasure that belongs to the world?

And then make a (government) profit on it (probably still partly supported by national tax dollars taken from me - who no longer resides in CA)?

It is and was truly amazing. These people have no shame (nor understanding of the hypocracy of their physical existence - they would stop breathing now (CO2 pollution comes from people too) and help stop global warming if they "really cared").
