This is nonsensical

For an exercise in stubbornness, see Jason Winders's recent blog post regarding Pollgate. Again, he's good people, but he and I are mightily disagreeing over some drought politics as of late.

The OnlineAthens poll specifically asks if gray water should be included in the local watering ban. The problem is that gray water is already banned by the state, meaning it's a pointless exercise to ask if it should be included in a local ban.

As Hillary noted, the point is that poll question implies that the local government either has the power to ban it or that it's unfairly restricting it to the detriment of the local community. Both implications are inherently wrong and reflect either a shallow pettiness toward the local government or a complete lack of understanding of the issue at hand.

Humility isn't a bad thing every now and then.
