This is funny as heck and also kind of scary. Tennesee vs. Georgia Water War coming on!
"Nearly two centuries after a flawed survey placed Georgia's northern line just short of the Tennessee River, some legislators are suddenly thirsting to set the record straight.
A historic drought has added urgency to Georgia's generations-old claim that its territory ought to extend about a mile farther north than it does and reach into the Tennessee -- a river with about 15 times greater flow than the one Atlanta depends on for its water." LINK
"A resolution in Georgia's legislature proposes to move the Tennessee-Georgia boundary about a mile to the north of where it now lies." LINK
"Just because we have more sophisticated equipment now, we can't just go around moving borders," said Crattie, who lives in Lookout Mountain, Ga., near the Tennessee border. "If they take this too far, there'll be neighbors shooting everyone all the time." LINK
"Tennessee state Sen. Andy Berke, who represents the disputed southeastern portion of that state, rebuked Georgia legislators for spending time debating "irresponsible land grabs.""It's easy to say, 'Let's just take other people's water,' " he said. "The responsible thing to do is conserve what water we have." LINK
