One of my good frinds requested I post this solution to our water problems here in Marion County, as it appeared in Monday's Letters to the Editor. It is quite interesting ... let me know what you think...

Water solution
Ocala residents have shown concern about water shortage information provided by the water management districts, and most of the complaints have been about them allowing huge amounts of water to Lady Lake and to bottling companies.
Well, it's barking up the wrong tree. That, in itself, is a drop in a bucket compared to what water management districts have been wasting themselves all these years.
We all are familiar with the bridge on State Road 40 near the Silver Springs attraction; that bridge was built for the purpose of allowing the water from the park to flow down to the river. Where is the water coming from? The aquifer, and it must be lots of water. Otherwise they would not need a bridge; a 40- or 50-inch pipe would have done the job.
There are millions of gallons gushing from the aquifer to the river, and now they are talking about going to the river to bring it back by spending millions of dollars in pipes and machinery. All they need to do is plug holes, wherever they are, including some in the Ocala National Forest, and let the aquifer fill up to its required level.
If Silver Springs needs water for the lake once in a while, it can be provided with a control valve near the lake.

What kind of BS solution is this? How can you call yourself an environmentalist if you're willing to post mindless drivel like this and call it a solution?
The real problem we're facing in this world is global warming, and global warming can be traced solely to greedy, backward thinking, beer swilling humans who drive oversized, gas guzzling, small manhood compensating SUVs, like the oversized Yukon Denali you park in your fancy reserved parking space every morning.
You've got the requisite goatee, I see, but you ought be driving a hybrid Prius. Your hypocrisy chaps my rear and I don't have any Preparation H to make it feel better because all my hard earned cash masquerades as taxes while it winds its way through back door liberal government channels to organizations like the Sierra Club who use it to host hairy nudist exhibitions where everybody gets stoned and pierced. You ought to be ashamed for attaching your name to something like this.
When the aquifer drys up, I hope all your St. Augustine sod turns brown. |
