Suggest removal Hey Dobbs! I just found Obama's birth certificate and passport. They are in a bank, vault, which is holding Alito's and Boy George's military discharge papers (VAPOR)"

Mr. field hand [your words]

You forgot to mention Barrys military discharge papers in your 'safe' ... Your incessant petty whining would sound much better had you done so!

OOPS!

I accidently hit send instead of edit so excuse the typos.... my bad!

If a plan to transfer a portion of the Missippi river is a possibility the time to do it is now.

Why?

Because there are millions of construction workers looking for work and billions of dollars worth of construction equiptment setting idle.

A low head dam on the Missippi river above the tide water mark above New Orleand and another lowhead dam a few miles above the 1st one with an upening in the middle of each to allow for shipping would allow the use of most of the water [to just above pool of the lower dam] to be transfered.

There are numerous valleys through the southwest that could be dammed for water storage resevoirs and many of these would create lakes that would settle the discoloration [like lakes Powell and Mead do with the Colorado river]and creat numerous sites for new cities built entirely with 21st century technology.

Potentially the entire FLOW of the Missippi river could be transfered from a point near New Orleans without changing any part of the present make up of the river above the high tide mark.

The advantage of using the Mississippi river as a source of water for the American southwest is that it is totally with-in the USA so we wouldn't need to consider the problems of international borders.

Another plus lies in the fact that much of the land between here and New Orleans [after Louisana and East Texas] is public/federal land so acquiring it wouldn't involve the usual problems that private property owners bring up.

As for the 'midwest farmers'.... having lived in Iowa for 58 years I can attest to the many complaints and attempts to get laws passed to stop urban infringement on 'prime farm land' by the midwestern farm groups/ leglislatures.

Anyone who has driven around the desert southwest will realize the unlimited potential for growth that needs only water to create.

The 22 yr old who won the WSOP claimed that he won 500 GRAND playing online poker since he started playing ...

How does a 22 yr old living in Michigan manage to play something that is illegal in the USA,brag about it in public and no one says or does anything?

Does this mean that we will be seeing seat belts on school bus's and the many shuttle bus's around vegas?

How about parades where we see folks standing/dancing on floats?

Personally I think the stripper mobile is in baaaaad taste..but ... that's just my opinion!

There is a lot of talk about the looming water shortages in the American southwest and the pipe line from central Nevada to the Vegas valley.

The biggest question of this idea is cost and how long will the aquafier last?

I think there is a better source of water available for the Southwest... The Mississippi river .. if the major players in our area, both public and private were to combine their efforts and do a study on the feasibility of a pipeline connecting a series of reserviors across the arid regions I believe there would be a consensus on its viability.

Expensive? Of course it would be ,but there is enough water going out to sea every day to support millions of new residents and the towns that would spring up around the reservoirs.

If such a pipeline/s followed Interstate hwys 10 and/or 40 right of ways, the cost and impact of such a project would be significantly reduced.

10% of the average daily flow of Mississippi river flow at New Orleans is 50 billion gallons of water,approx 40,000 acre ft.!

Could the county that built such projects as the Panama canal turn the desert into an economic bonanza that would rival some of Americas most prosperous growth spurts?

"We hope Boulder City looks into the miscarriages of justice to the homeless."

The artice stated that he wanted to move from his apmt. in LV to one in BC.!

What was the cost of the 19 miles and how many 19 mile sections are there between Las Vegas and Anaheim Calif.?

And how much cash will the bankrupt states of Nevada and California contribute to the train?

Borrow it from the bankrupt U S of A?

Reverend Birdie and my wife think ]?] that the idea of the strip being used for the strip isn't in good taste ....so ..based on their opposition I guess that I am in favor of it'

End of story!
