If you cut out all the swearing in this dam video, it would only be 6 minutes long.
BalasHapusThe dams were always a tragedy for the colorado river. The river no longer reaches the sea and the land is slowly being poisoned - were once annual flooding washed away minerals and heavy metals into the delta (which is now dead).
BalasHapusMesquite is creeping everywhere and consume milllions of gallons of water each day - again flooding once kept the river banks clear.
Dams hold back water and heavy metals are increasing in the water tables of lake mead and all others. A river flows for a reason.
Huge massive project!

BalasHapusThat's our socialist government at work folks! Always trying to take away our freedom and liberty with their social programs! Nothing good ever comes from these kinds of backward socialist initiatives! Good thing we killed those Vietnamese with their socialist ideas! Sprayed 'em with our Agent Orange, we did! Wouldn't want them to self determine into socialists. Didn't know what was good for 'em but we did! They come to take our guns they gonna have to come through me!

BalasHapuswhat an enormous and great piece of American history...
BalasHapusI agree totally - I really used to be proud of my country and even a few of its leaders back when they acted halfway patriotic, but now - im becoming ashamed of our leaders, love my country but sorely dissappointed in our turncoat politicians.
BalasHapus-- Its time we closed the damn borders get outta everyone elses business and get back to the business of running AMERICA the way its supposed to be run BY AMERICANS-!! lol
thats all true, we got everything wwe need here in our country, oil (texas), steel industries, car manafacturers etc.. & yea our money is being washed ! thats why my username is CorruptedGov..ernment
BalasHapusYou said it - this was back when we were still proud & growing and the government was investing in our infrastructure. Now all govt. does is lie cheat and steal for themselves. I feel proud of my country when I see these old films, but now i dont feel so proud, our own govt has sold us out to the chinese and the muslims. Its all a become a big money laundering scam - where did that last 5 trillion go ??!! Why do we not drill our own resources and remain subservient to the arabs?? :<(
BalasHapusLOL the flooding of the CO was made those valleys fertile in the first place. No they and the deserts irrigated by the CO probably need fertilizers that are created from natural gas & petroleum Man may not be so clever after all. Not to say it all isn't a construction, engineering feat But U know that sucker has several ICBMs programmed to travel there at a push of a button.
BalasHapusthats amazing
BalasHapusAmerica should be spending money on these kind of projects not war, thus creating clean energy, and jobs
BalasHapus"Dam" that's huge!
