By the way, the water in Texas is not controlled by the state. In our county we voted against water control and we do not have it. Other counties voted for the control. Capitalism made this country what it is today. Even with it's faults there has not been a better system found.RoanDurham":17a313qv said:I don't recognize state's rights. I'm an American. I pledge allegiance to the United States of America; not Texas. It's not the 'state's resources'-- they are collectively the resources of the American people. We can obtain food nearly anywhere. Once wildlife is extinct, there is no going back. I find it ironic that topics such as sustainability, preservation, and conservation seem to be such foreign concepts amongst rural-residing residents. An objective outsider would think those individuals would be at the forefront of the issues-
What do you think will happen when a few individuals privately own the water supply?
When your wells run dry, who will you call?
Capitalism is better than feudalism or slavery I agree, but as you see w/ our country's progression, a mixed-economy offers the most efficient allocation of resources.
