It is not news to me that many, in fact most, will support "the plan" because it has an immediate benefit to them personally. The initial environment is not the concern, it is what happens 10, 20, 30 years down the road. I know that won't affect you, which is why you haven't thought beyond the "here and now" or how it affects people other than you. The nouveau riche at Lake Lanier had the same attitude.
The way things are unfolding now is very devisive and deceptive. I contend that it is, at best, extremely naiive, or quite apathetic to believe that the intention of Lake City is that which we have been lead to believe. While I understand those who choose not to deal with the issue (for whatever reason) simply for the fact that it won't affect them or the Lake in their lifetime, I do not agree with that approach.
Had Benjamin Russell possessed that attitude, the lake would not exist as it does today, but it wouldn't be a total loss. Jordan, Logan Martin, and Lake Tallssee all are doing just fine, thank you, and there are people who love those places no less than many love Lake Martin.
