Sounds fair, as long as arizonians would stop culturing the crops painfully developped during thousands of years and generously shared with them by Mexicans (Tomatoes, pepper, corn), or Peruvians (Potatoes), or Argentinians and Bolivians (Peanuts), or Europeans (Onions, Lattice, Cabbage), or Africans (cup of coffee?), or Asians (return also the red jungle chicken please, and the apple native from Kazakhstan).

They can still culture the arizonian jackalope thistle and the sellfish redneck's muddy sweetgrass, and all the other members in the long list of wonderful crops developed there, of course.

That's a non sequitur if I've ever read one.

The fact is that the entire planet worked really hard so places like this can have an agriculture. Lets face it, Arizona didn't provided a lot in return to the science of agriculture.

And now some people is saying lets keep all the water, so people down the river don't have/don't deserve any?

A little understanding and maybe even gratitude would be a nice touch.

Think of it as a taste of what is to come when water will become more scarce. This is pretty much in line with predictions and the term 'water war' may well become commonplace in the near future.

The entire planet worked really hard so they could survive, it had nothing to do with being generous to other cultures or particularly to benefit the good people of Arizona.
