  1. Re:Karma on One Third of California's Trees Are Dead (sfgate.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Most other developed nations that utilize a lot of desalination (Saudi Arabia, Israel, UAE, etc.) actually pay less than 1/3rd per liter for desalinated water than we pay for water in Ventura County. If we could desalinate our water, we should be able to - theoretically - slash our water costs by a factor of 3...

    It's closer to 30-50%, not 75%. The majority of water is used for scenic and wild river enhancement - keeping flow rates high so they look good.

    It's easy. Jeff Sessions is racist because a KKK member endorsed him - an endorsement he's refused to accept. However, Hillary Clinton is NOT racist because she refused to accept an endorsement by Will Quigg, KKK Grand Dragon.

    See the difference? That totally explains how the Left chooses to use racism charges in the US...

    You know, I was totally with you until your last sentence. Then I realized you're just a hater and poser. No REAL Apple-lyte (Praise Be Unto Jobs' Name) would wait for the warranty to expire! The ONLY reason you need a new phone is because it is THE NEW MODEL. Waiting any longer than you possibly must is simply ludicrous. I mean, if your wife was having a baby I can understand not getting in line just 3 days early rather than the usual 7. But holding off for 3 years? That's just something no self-respecting Apple-lyte would do!

    Then why don't we emulate Canada or Mexico and offer national voter ID cards that must be used when you vote?

    In California, it ranges from free to $29, depending upon your income/age. If you are homeless or on welfare, you can get one free. If you're over 62 - you can get one free. If you have very low income (poverty line or below) you can get one for $8. So at least in California, there is no excuse to not have an ID card.

    Bill and Hill are the racist, misogynistic fascists. After all, wasn't Obama supposed to be the one getting Bill and Hill coffee? And they definitely worked really well as a pair in terms of sexual assault and denigration of the victims. And fascist? Laws are for the little people, not Hillary! She can make or break any law she wants and get away with it, because BIll and Hill are politically connected.

    Elite isn't just about money, it's about power and access. Most politicians - especially at the Federal level - are part of the elites. If you are extremely wealthy, you may be able to buy into the outer rings of the elites - but they make (and can break, apparently with impunity) the laws.

  10. At least you HAVE a list... In many States in the US (like California, for example) you simply need to show up and sign a form - and you get to vote! No ID needed AT ALL.

    Thank you! You prove he's NOT part of the elite. If you have to pay someone to get attention from their club - YOU'RE NOT IN THEIR CLUB. Bill and Hill made a quarter of a billion dollars off of selling access and connections; that's the elite group.

    What we have is a CNN spokesperson claiming they do it "for others". We have PROOF they do it for the DNC - and NOTHING, not even from CNN, to prove they do the same for the RNC. Oh, and Donna Brazile being tossed for doing exactly what Wikileaks said that CNN did - colluded with the DNC.
