In other news, Raleigh just lessened their water restrictions the other day. You can now wash your car whenever you feel like it. 10/23/2008 1:30:58 PM |

Idiots. Call it what it is. Does it make them feel better to not use the word? Not saying the word "drought" doesn't stop it from happening
Same with the use of the word "depression" and "recession" here in the US. Nobody wants to call it that.  10/23/2008 1:57:35 PM |
