Metro Atlanta & North Ga. have become giant vampires, intent on draining South Ga. of its water & leaving little more than a dried-out wasteland.

Metro Atlanta and North Georgia have become giant vampires, intent on draining South Georgia of its lifeblood and leaving little more than a dried-out wasteland.

Under the cash-scented influence of gigantic Atlanta-centric developers, Gov. Sonny and his pals are working on a plan that would allow metro interests to tap into South Georgia's bountiful water supply. They would transfer the liquid gold meant for the plains into North Georgia so that developers could keep on developing.

If Georgia can't prey on neighboring states, why not do it right here at home? Georgia government can skip all that interstate legal hassling. We'll just take the water from our own hapless citizens below the Fall Line. Of course, a few palms in the Gold Dome may have to be greased to get the proper laws passed, but the guys in shiny suits know how easily that can be done.

Then the Atlanta barons can start piping the cool, clear water northward. Just think, Buckhead groundskeepers can get back to work. Developers can tear up more mountains and build more McMansions, this time with two swimming pools instead of just one. Economic developers might even lure a new brewery or two into the mountains. Good times will roll again, right along with the flow of South Georgia water.
