Talk about a slanted piece of propaganda. Gee, this is real difficult math. Finite resources. Increased population. Resources run low. An adult has to step in and tell people the reality of the situation. Cue Arizona real estate developers to unleash their pitbulls of propaganda. Money before reality! That should be the state slogan. This is journalism? Talk about a slanted piece of propaganda. Gee, this is real difficult math. Finite resources. Increased population. Resources run low.

The question is whether we will resist, or not, expropriation of resources by the federal government. Yes, a good case can be made that further withdrawals from the water basin should be limited, perhaps severely. But this ought to be done with attention to all stakeholders, most importantly those who happen to own the property over the basin. Expropriation arbitrarily increases the stake of those who have the least interest in a rational exploitation of natural resources. That's the left extremist environmentalists, who assign a value of zero to anyone else's interest in a natural resource. That's why they are properly called "radical." BLM is their cat's paw.

Democrats are the fathers of slavery and the Republican party was formed to combat slavery. The time has come to end the reign of this administration of oppressors and vote as many times as democrats do to make 0bama and the EPA one and done. This is what you get when Conservatives get comfortable. Stop losing elections and VOTE every time and all the time! 0bama and the radical leftist wackodoos use the EPA as their enforcer bringing the hand of slavery and oppression back from the depths of black slavery.

One only has to look at the falling water table, dry springs, and streams and rivers that no longer flow year around. To kill the San Pedro, a resource that belongs to all Arizonans and no doubt influenced the decision of those that moved to Cochise Co. because of its beauty and bio-diversity, is not good policy so a few developers can get rich. Growth and renewable water are not compatible in a desert. The BLM is entirely correct: water in Cochise Co. is oversubscribed.
