I find it somewhat amusing for someone from Los Angeles to have this opinion. Do you know that your city and others in the desert southwest take so much water from the Colorado River that it doesn't reach the ocean any longer? There were no hippos in the Colorado River, but the animals that used to live in it are just as dead as these hippos will be.

Yes. That's my point.

Perhaps I could have worded it better, but my point was that it was a little silly for Queen to call for the death of farmers who are doing the exact same thing she (and the rest of us) are doing. I zeroed in on Los Angeles, because it would be difficult to find a more perfect example of stealing water. I'm sure Queen has heard of the water problems of the desert southwest, but her comment made me think a little reminder was in order.
