It was announced tonight on one of the Nashville TV stations that Georgia wants Tennessee to move the border 1.5 miles North giving them access to the Tennesse River and billions of gallons of water thus solving GA’s water problem!:rolleyes:
If you check your Atlas You’ll see how close the Tennessee River comes to GA in the NW corner of the state. It must be driving them mad to see all that water just out of reach! Wars have been started over less!:eek:
I’m sure Tennessee will comply to this request with compassion and understanding of the problems our good neighbors to the south are experiancing. Yeah right!! 
Michigan and Ohio fought a similar war a couple of hundred years ago and Michigan Lost. Ohio got to keep Toledo! 
Jack,
Georgia is trying to get their straw into any water they can find. The problem is that they want a very large drink and if they ever get the straw in, you’ll be highly unlikely to have it removed without years of legal maneuvering. I sympathize with their problem but I sure don’t want Lake Hartwell lowered another fifteen or twenty feet. We have more than enough mud flats as it is. 8T
Wouldn’t it be easier to just move Georgia over to the east coast of India where monsoon rains would solve the problem?
Just trying to prevent a war.
Gnu Bee,
I think that you could move most of the Southeastern states to the monsoon region of India with a beneficial effect. Sixty or seventy inches of rain would do us a lot of good at this point. We could also look for all those out-sourced American jobs while we’re there. 8T 
Ya know…if the water problems in Atlanta persist, all those folks will start moving 90 miles north up I-75, where there’s plenty of water to be had. Wouldn’t you just love all them Yankees moving into town and highways that are virtual parking lots 12 hours a day. If Tennessee has any sense they will start constructing the pipeline now to dump water directly into Lake Alatoona and keep them GA folks where they belong.
Oddly enough, this problem is being caused by good weather. There have been a surfeit of hurricanes since Katrina. The remnants of those storms bring us much of our rain in the late summer and early autumn. I can remember many droughts being broken by “hurricane left-overs” drenching us. We didn’t get that this year. Good for the coasts but bad for us. (I wish no more pain on the area that Katrina hit, please understand!)
