That's what God's servant, Adam, would do: say to the Mississippi, "You were fashioned to feed the Gulf of Mexico, but to serve the interests of human kind, some of your waters will feed the Pacific, by the power of my word and by the stewardship granted me by our Heavenly Father."
The waters shipped west could be daylighted at various stops along the route, creating residential, industrial, agricultural and commercial opportunities. The monies earned by such daylighting, the monies saved from preventing annual nuisance floods and septennial catastrophic floods, and the monies derived from the sale of the rerouted waters in the arid southwest would all combine to easily justify the expense of the project. The resulting agricultural bounty would erase America's trade deficit.
This would require long term planners. Wall Street is obsessed with next quarter, and wall street governs this country, unelected.

They have articles on removing dams. Dams are bad.
What you advocate would require holding back water. A dam.
A website that finds the need to tell people how to grow a house fern really knows details.
A quick check shows they claim to be a LONG TIME supporter blah, blah, blah...
They were started in 2005. I still have shirts I bought in 2005.
If you're 22 stupid years old, this is the site for you.
Please seat yourself.
I like the very things you hate.
