Dear Global Warming Deniers

You must not have ever been here during the daily afternoon storms during the rainy months. Running out of fresh water ain't gonna happen. I wish we could send some to California, because we've got more than enough.

Actually the intrusion of salt water into the Florida aquifers due to large fresh water demands by agriculture and a booming population mean that Florida running out of fresh water certainly can happen. Porous sediments can only accommodate so much water at once (which is why you get run-off, floods etc) so the excess water from large storms flows right back into rivers & the ocean, where it does you no good. Additionally, due to density/pressure contrasts, once salt water has claimed a section of aquifer, fresh water will never reclaim that zone again (at least by normal natural means). It's not a problem specific to Florida, it's something many coastal areas are also dealing with. Florida just happens to have a much larger population on a much larger coastline than other places.

Replace the verbiage in the first part with "When people say the world is a better place because of all the political correctness and affirmative action that has been done--they might as well be saying..."
