The Glade 4.0

I think you'd be surprised how much popular support there is everywhere for major changes in California.

Which was kind of the point I was getting at. Perhaps stealing water (as opposed to buying it, which would involve market pressures) to artificially create farmland is less practical and more risky, since it's at the whims of something not beholden to market forces, than actually using farmland that's naturally suited for crop-growing.

Clearly, it wouldn't be very good for Southern California, but that's simply because it's always an uphill battle, resource-wise, to fight Mother Nature. It's a fight worth making if other areas also have to make it, or there aren't enough areas that naturally don't, but neither is the case here in America.

Can give southern California back to mexico for all I care. Most of the people here are from there anyway(illegally at that).

It could be worse. You could be told that illegal aliens/undocumented workers/whatever euphamism you want here have more right to be here than you ... oh, wait ...

Well, on the positive side, at least it was a cultural anthropology class. I used to hear **** like that in one of my physics classes.

"Hey, douchbag, unless you're leading up to a calculation on the amount of force needed to catapult a Mexican family over the Rio Grande, STFU."

(No, I did not say this)

The look of shock on Mr. Douchebaggy McPoliticalyface science teacher would have been pretty epic if you had, though.
