| @chriskotx, well, those are the boundaries. And, why wouldn't Michiganders be possessive and proud of their water boundaries? Michigan possesses about 38,000 square miles of Great Lakes water area, and another 2,200 square miles of inland water area. For some reason, you and others believe that water area is less valuable than land area, even if that land is desert or mountains. Why is that? Some of your fellow Texans, such as T Boone Pickens, believe that water will some day be more valuable than oil. Brent Connett, a policy analyst for the Texas Conservative Coalition Research Institute, has this to say about water: "The water business, if allowed to bloom, can be the advent of another multi-billion-dollar business that will tremendously benefit all Texans, especially those who hold the rights to the water in the Panhandle." Can you imagine the future $billions (perhaps $trillions) Michigan and other Great Lakes states possesses in water?
