Abundance does not consolidate power in the hands of the few.

California bureaucrats are some of the slimiest. Keeping the state power keeps everyone off-balance and begging for handouts and has industry donating to political coffers.

The CA people are the peons who deserve to drink their own toilet water, meanwhile they'll have their bottled water flown in on private jets if need be.

Because the average IQ in CA has drastically decreased over the past 30 years, thanks to illegal immigration, the average Californian is basically too stupid to live and is the type who answers the e-mails from Mr. Zambugabe Boguswa, the deceased Finance Minister's only son to claim 2.3 million dollars for assisting him with bank transfers.

For these *bright* folks living next to an ocean of water, the cries of water shortage still make sense.
