These latter-day Neros and Caligulae never once told the dessicated masses about a simple, life-giving treasure. The treasure of Water.It was a dark time. A thirsty time.
Earlier today I highlighted some interesting numbers from a Reason poll about the public's opinion that Washington spends too much money, but there is oh so much more to unwrap from this fascinating polling, that it's worth another look.
