How 'bout some facts from you buddy? "..the dam most likely would have been breeched..." According to what analysis? You don't look too smart yourself spouting out your opinions as though it were a fact. Give me a break with the propaganda.

I don't know what would have happened. I believe SLISA has has had an analysis performed based on the pertinent data on the implications of flooding for various return periods. I believe it's a pretty big return period. It would be good to hear from Jared on this. The lake level is at 513 and some change. You're talking as if it were 525. According to one of the water level graphs it appears the lake level rose to about 517 in 2004. I'm sure it has been higher.

Whether you like or not, or are willing to admit it, things do change and can change for the better when enough people get behind a specific cause. It's called "progress." History is littered with thousands of examples where a group of people band together to effect change. Step into the 21st century. If in the past we had adopted your attitude, we'd still be drinking the "New Coke."

All this being said, I don't have as much a problem with the winter levels as I do with how the water level drops starting in June...almost a foot per week. Mind you that they are using this water to facilitate the operation of one of the dirtiest power plants in this country. And we get to keep breathing the crap they are spewing into the air.
