some people don't like dams..but I like dams dammit....I like dames to, see?? but dams are cool..I know if you talk to a damn enviro-whacko, he'll go all apey in the face when you mention dams....people build dams for one reason...for something to do!
and to hold back the water....then the water is used for power, recreation or whatever...dams should be used sparingly of course because a bad dam can wipe out a village...like the St. Francis Dam did in Los Angeles...
I like the Hoover Dam..it's probably the coolest thing I've ever seen..or never seen...but still without the Hoover Dam we would be speaking Japanese or German right now....the Hoover Dam provided power cheap power so the war planes and battleships could be built in California..Los Angeles....that's right, California saved our asses!!

and behind every dam is a reservoir..the Hollywood Reservoir, the Cherry Creek reservoir, Lake Casistas and Lake Cachuma, the Bear River Reservoir....see what I mean...there's romance and the wild west in every dam.....
so the next time you crack open a faucet and the clear water flows out, what would happen if sand flowed out? you'd have a nasty shower experience that's what, dammit!!
