farmer who wants more water MAN!

Regardless of whether you believe in God, Jesus, Allah or whoever, you have to admit that whatever power controls our world is seriously pissed. Record heat in America, record rainfall in India, and an increasingly longer and worse hurricane season in the Atlantic are just the more recent evidence in the now accepted FACT that global warming, or more precisely, global climate change is taking place. There was a story on CNN the other day about Midwest farmers, who are suffering through one of the worst droughts in recent memory, a drought that is killing crops, cutting yields and threatening their prosperity. But I couldn't help but laughing, albeit in a sad way, at all their boo-hooing and (my life is ruined� whining. These are the same people that, for as long as there has been an environmental movement, have sought to block it; who probably all drive Chevy Tahoe's and Ford F-350s with giant tires that get 3 miles a gallon; who run diesel water pumps day and night with no emission regulations; who grow federally subsidized crops that we don't need and get paid overly inflated prices for their crops at taxpayer expense but rail against (welfare� at every opportunity; who pour pesticides into the land and air without a second thought. But now that their soy beans aren't growing and they might not be able to afford their new truck this year, man! Something must be done! It's like the people back in my hometown of Willows, who constantly complain about how the hunting has (gone to shit,� and that there's not hardly a duck to be found anywhere as they harvest their 1000 acres of rice that just happens to be planted on what used to be one of the busiest migratory bird routes anywhere but now is just a cog in what's left of the rapidly crumbling US agricultural economy. But hey, if farming gets too tough, they can always just build a couple thousand shitty tract homes on that land. Because if you can count on anything in this world today, its that people—American, Chinese, Hindu, whoever—are always gonna want some shitty house to park their fucking big stupid car and raise their fat stupid kids.
