Dams for dams sake?

Full story: The Reporter

As a Vacaville resident who knows where much of her water comes from, I understand why some of our state political leaders want to be sure that dams are included in any discussion about California's water future.

No. 1 on my hit list of dams to knock down is Hetch Hetchy. California would be better off without it and without the reservoir behind it. Ya think?

Damn!

Knocking 'em all down would force 3/4 of California's population to move back east (and back down south of the border). Or, it might provide a bonanza to the bottled water industry.

The more the better? Yes, absolutely, except for Hetch Hetchy. Just think of the benefits of drying up San Francisco's source of water.

And ... we would have a second "Yosemite Valley."

Yosemite Valley, with all its granite, would be a great nuclear waste depository. And in knocking down the Hetch Hetchy dam, where would Frisco get most of it's water?

O.I.C. Now I see where you're coming from now. The ultimate solution for one of the most liberal cities in the U.S.

Daily Horoscope for December 31

Aquarius

The more you want to control someone, or someone wants to control you, the more difficult life will be today. It's a Full Moon and a lunar eclipse, so the last thing you should do now is to act as though you own this person, or tell them what to do, because it will be an instant recipe for rebellion and trouble. Mars is retro in your house of significant others and open enemies after all. If you don't want to spoil the evening's celebrations you'll have to make compromises, and hope that this other person will do the same. Don't let the fuss stop you having a very happy New Year's Eve.
