1) which frees other water for drinking, industrial use and (God help
us)
watering the grass.

2) if Secession and division... shudder.  I think The US would cut that
off and distribute CA's % of Colorado water to the other states (or
even,
Mexico, well maybe not Mexico) per treaties/water sharing agreements. 
Same way Quebec would have to re-negotiate any Canadian-US treaties (as
my anti-separation French Canadian wife loves to point out.)  The Sierra
Nevada water would become an issue...

Prounciation help: "Whack-o's" or "Way-co's" as in Branch Dravidians
redux ?

Maybe you could hire Texas Mercenaries.  <grin>  The Free Cal-Tex
Rangers... Come to think of it Tejanos have fought Mexicanos before.

Have been out of CA (except for 5 days 10 years ago, 2 days 2 years ago,
and 5 days this summer)  pretty much since 1986 when I changed careers
from healing people to making sure people would get hurt if needed and
moved to Saint Louis - so the 'local nut' data base is out of date - who
is PRB?

Probably same people under a different name...

Gracias,
Glenn
