And NO, nobody has a sensible reason whatsoever to give that justifies giving the government a TON of money....because they can't do a thing about climactic weather cycles...

If you think that the impact of current human industrial society isn't dramatically and artificially influencing Earth's climate (for the worse) then you're a simple nut and have credible voice with which to speak.

You call it drought....................I call it climate change due to global warming.

If droughts are ravaging Texas whats that rich oil exec's wife going to do? The one that bought a million acres to start a wild horse refuge. She bought it when gas was 4.50 a gallon just because she wanted a raunch. (Yes, she called it a raunch). Shouldnt all those wild horses be getting thirsty about now? Wheres the humane money to water all those horses? Does this mean a gallon of gas is going up? She going to let them die of thirst or what?

Ummm, dmw1167, I think you are referring to Newton's Law's of Energy, because it cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be altered. With shifts in ocean currents due to volcanic eruptions, gas shiftings in the atmosphere, and our constant changing the environment, we are effectively killing ourselves faster and faster every day thus enabling humankind to join the ranks of extinct species such as the dinosaurs, we will probably be the next source of energy for whatever takes our place at the top of the food chain.

That's because Texas would be worth a higher rent.

If you say so.

if he owned H*e*l*l and Texas that he would live in H*e*l*l and rent out Texas.

That's because Texas would be worth a higher rent.

Who would pay to rent the other place?

[barbaraf4]

There is the story about the General who said if he owned H*e*l*l and Texas that he would live in H*e*l*l and rent out Texas.

Yeah, and you STILL haven't presented me with a SOLUTION to climactic changes the GOVERNMENT can produce if we give them more money!!!

What's the government going to do? Get out their sprinkle cans and drip some water on us? Stick their finger out and stop a cat 5 hurricane?

Why does the GOVERNMENT need more money? Can anybody tell me a reason to give the GOVERNMENT more money?

Would someone giving you a reason make a difference? No. That's not why you're here.

Does being ignorant come naturally to you or do you have to work at it?

I think God is torturing Texas.....He's just not using the waterboarding technique.....

God is always torturing Texas.

Just a few years ago, we had wildfires from dry conditions on one part of the state, and flooding in other parts.

It has something to do with being the biggest state in the continental USA. We cover so much land area, it's common to have drought at one corner and a hurricane at the other one.

In Austin, we had very consistent annual rainfall. And it all fell in one day. The rest of the year not a drop of rain fell. Without artificial watering, it would be a desert.

That's Texas.

If you don't like the weather, wait a few days. Or drive 150 miles. You'll be in different weather, but you'll still be in Texas.

Fortunately, we don't have to convince you. You're a relic Bush-lover without a clue. History has passed you by. I can only hope you farm in CA or TX. That would be poetic justice indeed.

The rest of us will be engaged finding the solutions to problems created by Rednecks like you.
