“You can’t keep us guessing,” said Ari.
“I thought you were guessing,” said Mia. #vss365
"For activists in France, mega-basins have become a symbol of how the government is adapting to climate change in precisely the wrong way. In response to intensifying droughts, French authorities have carved giant water storage systems into the countryside for large farms to draw down in dry months. Critics say these mega-basins—which can hold up to 720 million liters, the equivalent of nearly 300 Olympic-sized swimming pools—are effectively hoarding water, reserving it for private landowners, leaving rivers parched and local groundwater systems depleted."

Counterpoint; maybe #police would never have been able to justify being so heavily armed in the first place, if it wasn't EASIER to get a #Gun in the #USA than to get a #Degree, a #Home, or a #Job.
The "defence against tyranny" #rhetoric LOST ANY and ALL water it may have held once the #NRA got in bed with the most tyrannical #President elected to date.
Before #disarming ANYONE, you need to disarm #NRAMembers, "#PrivateMilitias,"
ANYONE with a "#Gadsenflag," #MAGAs...
When you stand there before us
Your smile shining like the sun
With your disarming charm
How can we deny you.
In the morning
I walk along the dew sprinkled sidewalks
Leaving shoe prints in cut forest green
Take side treks down asphalt paved alleys
Disarming the stray in search of easy prey
The sun barely peaks over clear blue horizon
I breathe in the day
Knowing there is more to come
Carrying gratitude in each step
Stumbling through the cascade of unknowns
Casually embracing the solitude of possibility
I breathe in the day
