<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1563117, member: 15199"]As an add-on, don't think I admire the Hunts, but they do have strong mercenary sense of business. More than a decade ago, they bought land here that was served by the Colorado river, which was guided by the law developed a century ago. They weren't interested in farming, but in selling the commodity of water to San Diego and LA area. Their lawyers argued that the water rights went with the land and if they fallowed the land, they should be able to sell their water to these cities. years of Legal battles resulted, until the federal Government decided water was something like public lands and got new laws and regulations passed to stop the Hunts again. If they can find a way to make fresh air a commodity, they will try to make a killing on it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
