Default California fish vs farmers: This is the land of NUTS!

Living smack-dab in the embattled Central Valley of California, where
our legislatures cause more than enough trouble as they endlessly
legislate Utopia, we now have the feds strangling our valley water
supply. I love fishing the delta, the main body of water at the center
of this war, and I want a healthy fishery, but thousands of acres of
farmland now lay fallow as the feds have cut off the water supply to
save the 2" delta smelt - and the salmon run. Even I would choose
people over fish - but that isn't the real issue, I don't think.

I say the problem is not NorCal farmers, but SoCal water guzzlers. Let
the SoCal millions pay $400 per month for water as they build
desalinization plants along the coast to supply themselves with the
water they need. In return, we'll continue to grow food for them. As
it is, y'all will be finding more and more of your produce labled
"Product of Chile" (or name most any country).

Oh yeah, we should begin importing much of our food, shouldn't we? Why
not? We just love importing oil that we also refuse to drill and
refine ourselves.

God bless America.
