In the discussion thread: Some Red States Are Already Running Out Of Water [View all]

31. In no way do I wish to distort your posts, please don't accuse me of that.

What I was originally responding to were comments
upthread that made me uncomfortable.

You are speaking practically about Great Lakes
water resources, and I know nothing about that.

I'm responding more philosophically & emotionally,
about how we're all in this together.

I sensed an attitude in some of the posts which sounded
to me like this: it's too bad for the states that are running
out of water, but it's their own fault because they haven't
managed their resources well, and no way are they going
to get our water. This is what I was inferring from posts to
which I responded.

If that's not at all what you or others intended to say, I'm
very sorry for misunderstanding. Genuinely!

We are all in this together. When the desperate times come,
the ones who look out for each other have the best survival
chances.

I have no wish, ever, to generate misunderstanding, distort
others' words or demean others' points of view.
