First, let me say that I am totally against sending any water to Las Vegas so the hotels and golf courses can have nice water features. I would not care if the whole town dried up and blew away. The best way to kill the whole idea is for the tree huggers to get involved. All they would have to do is identify some fish, animal, insect, bird, flower, bush, tree, burial ground or groundhog colony that would be hurt if the water is sucked dry and file a lawsuit. Presto chango! The project would be on hold for a long time.

Where is Rocky Anderson when we need him?
