The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

$20bn is an outright LIE.

In 2013 - eleven years ago - the cost was conservatively estimated at $67bn.

But when factoring in long-term financing costs, the price tag actually ranges from $51 billion to $67 billion, according to new figures that emerged last month.

This from a place where I hear it is illegal to catch rain from the sky, or build weirs or ponds to retain water... but of course the State can take all it wants.

A $20 Billion cistern?   That money would be better spent on desalinization plants.  It doesn't rain during droughts.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Fraccing (and injection wells) aren't the only things that can lubricate fault lines.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
