Viva La Thirst and Filth!
This from David Nabhan
Here’s one that has GOT to make you laugh. The million inhabitants of Rome in Augustus’ day two thousand years ago enjoyed a comfortable, civilized and refreshing 200 gallons of water a day per capita, free of charge for almost everyone. Juxtapose that with the parched, burned-out, electricity-less residents of Los Angeles, eking by on 78 gallons per day and paying through the nose for it. Don’t feel too bad for them though; here’s the real joke. I published an article about them today—they’re out in the streets protesting again in LA, but not because they want more water, they’re complaining because they want LESS. Indeed, they're the first people on Earth ever to have come down on the side of thirst, filth, dehydration and death.

An excellent article indeed. And the "money quote" from it -- please put your coffee down before reading further -- is "In 2018 a group of self-styled environmentalists gathered to protest a
proposed billion-dollar desalination plant in Huntington Beach. As to
why anyone should be opposed to parched California taking rational steps
to provide much-needed water to its citizenry, the demonstrators voiced
a truly Orwellian talking point: the plant would be discharging briny
water back into the sea."
Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Yeah Dana; this shows just how insane and anti-human these people are.
