Tim and Lane, I think maybe I lost track of where we were on the water discussion. I think I was saying that aquifers are being depleted because they are being pumped out faster than they are being naturally refreshed. Then the idea of subsidies and low prices causing that condition came up. I wasn't aware of any subsidies (I don't know anything about Kalifornia, are they still part of the US? <GGG>) for large users of water. So anyway, I think we've all three concluded that too much water is being used? That maybe water shortages are of more immediate importance than some other things we've debated here? Sorry about my confusion on the state of the debate. I sorta think I agree with y'all. If city folks need to pay more for water, that's fine with me. <G>
