Agua: A Fossil Fuel in Raleigh


Phew! You would think water is gold down here these days. Here we begin 2006, and Raleigh still faces water restrictions. Ok, so what does this mean? Well, I cannot wash the new Kia or my filthy, Northern-driven through the salt and ash Focus, but HEY!!! I can water my non-growing lawn twice a week. Whooo hoooo!

Ok, so we all know Raleigh and the Greater Triangle area are great places to raise a family. That's why over 5,000 students join the public school system each year. We find ourselves unable to build schools fast enough. What does that mean? Wake County ignores purchasing more technology, increasing teacher and paraprofessional staff pay, and other things that would benefit the students. Do a google for Wake County reassignments. Heehee! You want to start a fist fight, bring that subject up between a repub and demo. It is ludicrious. So, where exactly am I going with this? Well, we can't build schools fast enough, we're running out of water...here comes Chris' Common Sense Moment of the Day:::::STOP ALLOWING MORE SUBDIVISIONS to be built in the county. We don't have enough water. We don't have enough schools. So let's allow a developer to build 500 houses in East Wake. Sure, go ahead and put in a plantation-style development in N. Raleigh. Come on Raleigh leaders...stop the insanity.
