On the other side of the issue, a few times a week, for the past few months, the local media feature (hype, rub it in,) reports of folks who waste water, ignore the rationing rules in order to protect their "landscape investments". Here I am sitting here reading this, looking out at my dead brown lawn, surrounded by drought tolerant sage and rosemary bushes; having just taken my every other day shower, and using the toilet, but not flushing unless necessary; Here I am following the rationing rules, actually rationing more than required, reading about these people, reading their reactions, "well, I'm paying for it, aren't I?"; makes me feel less like an ineffective idiot, but more mature and aware how this water use issue is just the tip of the iceberg when you're discussing Wealth and Justice inequality issues. I mean you wanna talk about "taking liberties"?..Have at it! " Fuck the rules, I'm not letting my Green Lawn turn Brown!" Jeeeesh
