style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Tahoma'>Thank you, B.J., for an intelligent
analysis of the real issue, which, to my mind, is simply this: Do we care
for Moscow by nurturing healthy growth, supporting community-benefiting
development, upholding the law out of respect for both code and our neighbors,
and realizing that after the "anything goes" school of city planning
comes the unfortunate but inevitable reality that everything's gone. <br>
<br>
We may have water for several more centuries, or we may not. I'll apply
Pascal's Wager to this: If we live as though we have only a few decades
of water left, and we're wrong, we'll have lost nothing. But if we live
as though we have centuries left, and we're wrong, we'll have lost everything.<br>

anti-growth politicians are all wet.” Basically, Carscallen, Krauss
and Steed do not think we have a water problem. The ad talks about
‘smart conservation’ but the candidates have said they want green
lawns, development at all costs, the scientists are wrong, <st1:City

Thinking.” Perhaps “Heads in the Sand” would be a
better description. Is their idea of Forward Thinking ignoring all the
REAL warning signs? What about the many small domestic wells near <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City> that have gone
dry? What about the declining aquifer? What about WSU realizing
that it is unwise to water the golf course with aquifer water and are planning
an effluent system? What about the small towns on the edge of the Snake
River Aquifer whose wells have gone dry and fighting over water rights has
escalated to violence? Have they heard about drought and declining
aquifers in nearly every other area of the country? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
