Couple of things

- This is a good article on a good event regarding water conservation in the future. And while I agree with all of the points made, I do have to somewhat disagree with the aversion to reservoirs. If it hadn't been for Bear Creek's reservoir two years ago, we'd all be screwed. Yes, it was still depleted by evaporation and, yes, it cost a good bit of money to build and maintain, but you can't find anyone now who would argue it wasn't a beneficial thing to have. Likewise, the construction of new reservoirs to supplement the area would provide additional reserve supplies of water for the community. And, during times of substantial rain - like within the past two months - the reservoir would help alleviate some of the moisture that oversaturated some of the areas.

- While I think Bill Ayers actually has some good ideas regarding education, it's very difficult to escape that fact that, you know, he's insane, unrepentive and unable to see that 'nonviolent' and 'blowing stuff up' don't go together.

- I ask some questions about the police response to George Zinkhan's shooting spree.

- Listen Ron Fetch, I get that potentially there are some merits to the Fair Tax, but has anyone seen a letter to the editor on this thing that doesn't end with them pimping either Neil Boortz's book or the damn web site? This thing is nothing more than a money-making scheme for Boortz and the rest of the bunch peddling this gimmick.

- Um, it's a water tower ... it doesn't need to be pretty. Besides, Atlanta Highway needs a lot more work than that and, to be honest, that work is going to have to come from the folks who comprise that corridor as I don't see any help on the way in the foreseeable future.
