What's worse?
Biting your own hand. Probably.


You're not gonna be able to process this story as reality....especially if you reside in California. But try....because it is real.



1. Let's begin with a logic lesson.

"Syllogism"....an instance of a form of reasoning in which a conclusion is drawn (whether validly or not) from two given or assumed propositions (premises), each of which shares a term with the conclusion, and shares a common or middle term not present in the conclusion.
Google.


2. Example of a syllogism:
Liberalism is a mental disease
Environmentalism is an iteration of Liberalism
Therefore, Environmentalism is a mental disease.


I know...you wanna quibble....'is not, is notttt'.

Just wait....



3. Even those of us on the East Coast know about the water problems California is having....

a. "COMPTON, Calif. — Alysia Thomas, a stay-at-home mother in this working-class city, tells her children to skip a bath on days when they do not play outside; that holds down the water bill. Lillian Barrera, a housekeeper who travels 25 miles to clean homes in Beverly Hills, serves dinner to her family on paper plates for much the same reason. In the fourth year of a severe drought, ..." http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/27/us/drought-widens-economic-divide-for-californians.html?_r=0

b. "....California is facing a punishing fourth year of drought. Temperatures in Southern California soared to record-high levels over the weekend, approaching 100 degrees in some places. Reservoirs are low. Landscapes are parched and blighted with fields of dead or dormant orange trees. And the Sierra Nevada snowpack, which is counted on to provide 30 percent of the state’s water supply as it melts through early summer, is at its second-lowest level on record."
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/18/u...onservation-efforts-and-worries-increase.html




4. What is the problem....is it too little water?
Not according to....


"California has plenty of water…just not enough to satisfy every possible use of water that people can imagine when the price is close to zero. As David Zetland points out in an excellent interview with Russ Roberts, people in San Diego county use around 150 gallons of water a day. Meanwhile in Sydney Australia, with a roughly comparable climate and standard of living, people useabout half that amount. Trust me, no one in Sydney is going thirsty." The Economics of the California Water Shortage


So.....it seems, rather than not enough water....it is the wasting of water that is the problem.


The insanity part....coming up.
 
5. Whether a draught-caused shortage....or a waste of water caused shortage....the folks in California seem to find the water shortage pretty serious....


"California voters overwhelmingly see the state's ongoing water shortage as a serious problem, according to a Field Poll released Thursday.

Nearly 95 percent consider the shortage serious, and of those 68 percent find it extremely serious, according to the poll."
Most Californians Agree Water Shortage Is Serious Problem NBC Southern California



Syllogism time?

Californians are mostly Liberals......mental disorder.



See, they've been brainwashed to believe that environmentalism is a science...and Liberals never, never argue with 'studies say,' especially if it is some version of nature worship.



That's why they won't object to the most insane waste of water during a 'shortage.'


You're not gonna believe what it is being wasted on.....
 
Can't wait to find out where and how the Liberal's have wasted......WASTED....huge amounts of water that Californians have proclaimed 'a serious shortage'???



6. "California drought: Delta smelt survey finds a single fish, heightening debate over water supply

... the fish is on the brink of extinction. This month, in their April trawl survey, state Fish and Wildlife scientists caught only one of the pinky-sized, politicized fish ... because the Delta's warm, brackish and polluted water is too inhospitable.
It's not just about saving a single species, they say, but about saving a precious ecosystem.

....the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service regulates how and when pumping can be done to protect it and other imperiled endangered species. Since the smelt is protected under the Endangered Species Act, a federal court order can -- and has -- reduced pumping to farmers and cities in Southern California.

In March, when the California Department of Fish and Wildlife conducted one of its monthly spring trawl surveys for adult smelt, it found only four females and two males hidden in the grasses of a vast network of man-made islands and channels....



"A lot of water has been thrown at the problem, to no apparent effect," ... "Twenty million Californians depend on a water supply kept away from them by one small, little population of fish."



Turning off the pumps that serve the state and federal water projects wasted about 800,000 acre-feet of water in 2013 "based on the science of four buckets of minnows. That is enough water to produce crops on 200,000 acres or 10 million tons of tomatoes; 200 million boxes of lettuce; 20 million tons of grapes." California drought Delta smelt survey finds a single fish heightening debate over water supply - San Jose Mercury News


Did you get that???

"Insane".....the one-word description of environmentalism.
 
Environmentalism:
"Save the dopey evolutionary dead end....the heck with Californians!"

This is what happens when Liberals are in charge.


7. " The population of the three-to-four-inch (eight to ten centimeters) silvery blue [Delta smelt] fish, which lives only in the San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, has been falling for decades as huge volumes of fresh water are diverted through hundreds of miles of aqueducts and canals." Delta Smelt Icon of California Water Wars Is Almost Extinct



People can be inconvenienced, taxed, robbed of their property rights...sacrificed to what secularists....Liberals....environmentalists....call 'nature.'

The mantra of environmentalists:
People? They're a virus that infects Mother Earth, Gaia.

Did they miss the fact that there seems to be a water shortage in California?
 
More stupid shit from politicalchic.




Hey...look!


A post from a moron whose avi celebrates the slaughter of one hundred million human beings!
you're a laughing stock on this forum, and if we use the same standard you're using to count deaths due to communism, which is hilarious, capitalism numbers in the billions.



Ooooo.....

...looks like I hit a nerve.
I don't celebrate the slaughter of anyone, get that through your skull, and second of all, trying to blame mao's famine on communism or the gulags on communism, which never existed in China or the USSR, you're an idiot. What's the definition of communism again, honey?

Brainwashed? Mental disorder? Not a shortage? You're a idiot, I'm going to start quoting from flat earth websites to prove the earth is flat, and if you disagree, you have a mental disorder. This is your logic..
 
More stupid shit from politicalchic.

:ack-1: Did you run out of water for your marijuana plantation, as others have and will.
I smoke pot on occasion, but I don't have a marijuana plantation. OH YEAH. Politicalchic said millions don't starve to death every year, she refuses to change her mind.. She's a psychopath.

Actually, she is a very well-educated student of history and economics. Better listen up!

And here's the very best thing about your posts:

I have regularly posted that communism, Nazism, socialism, Liberalism, Progressivism....the Democrat Party.....

...all fruit of the same poison tree.


And here comes some moron who not only chose 'Marxist' as his badge, but is incensed about any criticism of Liberalism.




And...he's both a moron and a 'fruit' of that tree.....take that anyway you like.

They're not all from the same tree, they're not poison because you disagree with them and want to blame the progressive groups for your problems, yeah, I'm a Marxist, but you're trying to say everything you disagree with is a mental disorder.
 
The thread began with a title about biting one's own hand.....

...a pretty dumb idea, no?

Yet that is what we see in California, where Liberal regulations and laws have done exactly that.



8. " The Man-Made California Drought

· California’s water storage and transportation system designed by federal and state governments includes 1,200 miles of canals and nearly 50 reservoirs that provide water to about 22 million people and irrigate about four million acres of land throughout the state.

· In May 2007, a Federal District Court Judge ruled that increased amounts of water had to be re-allocated towards protecting the Delta smelt – a three-inch fish on the Endangered Species List.

[Wanna guess whether the 9th Circuit is Liberal?]



· Because of this ruling, in 2009 and 2010 more than 300 billion gallons (or 1 million acre-feet) of water were diverted away from farmers in the Central Valley and into the San Francisco Bay – eventually going out into the Pacific Ocean." The Man-Made California Drought - House Committee on Natural Resources



Hey....what would be a great Liberal/environmental plan during a water shortage?
"...more than 300 billion gallons (or 1 million acre-feet) of water were diverted away ...[and flushed] out into the Pacific Ocean."



I told you you wouldn't believe this story.

I love proving how truly stupid you are....it's my naughty pleasure.....

...but you already beat me to it when you chose your title.

Still....
...let's smack you in the kisser one more time:
I stated, correctly, that communism, socialism, Nazism, Liberalism, Progressivism...are all 'fruit of the same poison tree.'

You wrote: "They're not all from the same tree, blah blah blah...."

Here is a little quiz that will show just how wrong you are:

6. Which represents totalitarian governance?
7. Which believes that mandating/dictating every aspect of their citizen's lives is their prerogative?
8. Which aims for an all-encompassing state that centralizes power to perfect human nature by controlling every aspect of life

Right....none of 'em.
Only right wing philosophies...i.e., conservatism.


In your face, you dolt.....
...You're so dense that light bends around you.
