		<description><![CDATA[Will someone explain to me why Alabama and Florida didnt fix their own water problems by tapping water supplies in their own states during the past 18 years, which is the length of time all 3 states were aware of the problem? Is Florida really complaining about some endagered muscle beds! Move um! It seems to me a state that is surrounded by water, could invest in a few desalinazation plants and new reseviors!

Even everyday citizens know that one doesnt put all their eggs in one basket! And whats that quip about self reliance.......

Also, can someone please explain to me why Tennessee isnt supplying water to our region. Anyone who has driven through Chattanooga on I75 has seen the massive supply of water and lakes located in Chattanooga!

What about creating a national water system similar to the oil pipelines?! The large percentage of infrastructure needed to build this type of system already exists.

Now the problem has been politicized, the Governors are ducking for cover and it will be another 20 years before everyone stops blaming each other, and yet nothing will be done to fix the problem long term. So in 20 years we can do this all over again.

It doesnt take a rocket sceintist to figure out a policy is needed to steadily increase the water supply to meet ever increasing demand. One would have to live under a rock to have not heard the gloom and doom news of the exponential growth in worldwide (never mind Cobb County) population. Its time for politicians to, &quot;Man/Woman-up&quot; instead of making careers out of elected positions that were originally intended to be a job!

I ony wish I was as immoral and unethical enough to be a politician (said with a disgusted tone)!]]></description>
