1% whines over having to save water like everyone else

When the Cincinnati media speaks of a "drought", you can rest assured it's not like what other areas would call a drought. In California, for instance, a drought is a drought.

Recently, California officials ordered folks to reduce water usage by 25% to fight the drought there. But some people in the wealthy San Diego suburb of Rancho Santa Fe think rules are just for the little people. After the water conservation order was issued, water usage in Rancho Santa Fe actually increased by 9%.

Rancho Santa Fe's affluent residents began deliberately wasting water just because they were told to conserve it. One resident groaned on the Internet that he and his neighbors "should not be forced to live on property with brown lawns, golf on brown courses or apologize for wanting their gardens to be beautiful." But shouldn't everyone share the burden of reducing water usage, regardless of their personal opulence? "No, we're not equal when it comes to water," he went on to say. Another resident sniffed, "What are we supposed to do, just have dirt around our house on 4 acres?"

Yes, they really said that.

Even before the order, Rancho Santa Fe - which is full of country clubs and gated neighborhoods - used 5 times as much water per person as the statewide average.

Because of locals wasting water, Rancho Santa Fe is now forced to enact water rationing - for the first time ever.

Wealthy crybabies are also shooting their mouths off in other rich California suburbs. A resident of another rich community cried, "I call it the war on suburbia." Well, I call suburbia a war on America. So tough toilets.

Laugh it up all you want, but the rhetoric about the "war on suburbia" has already wriggled its way into the Far Right's lexicon. If you read any article online about any issue of public interest, you'll notice the comment page is full of diatribes by paid trolls about how rough it is to be a rich suburbanite.

The 1% is all about taking entitlement to new levels.
