Reply #35: As a Michigander, I'm scared for our lakes.

[knitter4democracy]

We have the water, and every year someone tries to steal it. Don't even mention it to most Michiganders (by that, I mean every single person I know) because we start getting rabid about protecting our lakes and water. That's why our governors, even the Republican ones, do what they can to protect our resources.

If ya want to live in a desert, you have to live with the consequences. It makes no sense to me that we have turned desert areas in California into rice paddies and land for other high water need crops. It makes no sense to me to see fountains and golf courses in Vegas surrounded by desert and rock. Now these states are after our lakes? Hell no! If they want water, they can come here and live and work. They're not taking our water to pour it out on rock and sand.
