    Hmm…
    Maybe if they turned some of the fountains off in front of all the grandized hotels and drained a few swimming pools they would not have to reach out farther for all this water…

‎"At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour."
