Palms Springs Eternal

“Outraged” is the word for my feelings while reading of how Palm Springs shows its indifference to California’s water needs as it blithely constructs more and more lakes, lagoons, waterfalls and pools at the expense of the rest of us who are being asked to conserve. Are we conserving for Palm Springs?

“Outraged” also describes my feelings about The Times as it hypocritically preaches environmental concerns and water conservation on its editorial pages while at the same time, in its Travel Section, it provides color pictures and other glamorous hype for Palm Springs and its obscene water usage policy.
