- Now let's see who is doing some exaggerating.
- Is there plenty of water in California? Nevada? Arizona? Oregon? Utah?
- I know Colorado has more water rights assigned than all of the water in
- the state. This is a fact, and it happened because the water rights were
- divided up during the wettest year in Colorado history. Lots of other
- places have water shortages too. But John's statement is particularly
- ludicrous coming from a place with such acute shortage as California.
- Or perhaps John will give a whole new meaning to the word "plenty" or the
- word "almost" (or maybe both when used in the same sentence). Or, maybe
- he considers the Pacific Ocean a suitable water source because he knows of
- a secret desalination plant nobody else knows about.
