Environmentalism Again Gone Awry

California is in a drought stage. Gov. Jerry Brown wants to conserve water through restrictions on city inhabitants by letting the lawns dry up and cutting personal showers.
The fact is that 40% of California fresh water is running right into the Pacific Ocean. Why so? Simple answer. California will not build dams and reservoirs to collect the water for city use. Why so? Because it might endanger some fish species. Ridiculous? Right! Most reasonable people would think that humans should have priority for water, for washing cars, watering lawns, and taking showers even if a few fish may be inconvenienced.
This is another example of environmentalism gone awry. This fits in with the snail darter and the prairie chicken. I can hardly wait for someone to take the Endangered Species Act all the way to the Supreme Court, where it should be declared unconstitutional; not being a part of the original Constitution nor any of its amendments.
