Georgia Senate Offers Comic Relief in Drought

georgia tennesseeThere have been a lot of mistakes and dumb ideas leading up to the current water problems around Atlanta, but the Georgia Senate is about to produce the best of all. Their solution:

Conquer parts of Tennessee.

According to people digging into the historical records, a part of southern Tennessee should have been give to Georgia in the 1800s. By a very happy coincidence that extra mile will take us to the Tennessee River. The plan is to take over the town of Lookout Mountain and its river access. The Senate will be kind enough to let them keep Lookout Mountain itself.

The resolution enters the Senate today.

If the plan did succeed it would push Georgia's border up to the 35th parallel. Georgia also would get a chunk of Chattanooga, and Mississippi a slice of Memphis.

As ridiculous as it sounds, it is still the facts. According to several documented statements, the original surveyor crew admitted that the final survey was inaccurate, but without the benefit of mondern tools, they did not just how inaccurate. The real truth is that it made a nice straight line along the current false borders of TN and GA. Think of it this way, what if you found out that your property line was actually larger and expanded into your neighbors yard by 100 yards or so. What would you do?
