It's called commerce. If other states give back our products (includes computer technology, aviation technology, agricultural products, the space program, the nuclear program, and petroleum products), then we will give back their water. Also the Xterra was designed and developed in SoCal.

The designers probably used stolen water to work on that as well.
[begin over the top reaction] Oh no! We all drive Xterra's. We are supporting the water hogging CA lifestyle. It might be time to boycott every product that ever came from CA. SELL YOUR XTERRA! SELL YOUR COMPUTER! DON'T BUY ANY ALMONDS!

Reposted... just in case:
Half of ALL fruits and vegetables grown in the U.S. come from California.
