Who thought we would be having a modern day water war with Georgia and Tennessee?  Apparently the state's border was improperly mapped and the Tennessee river runs into Georgia territory in the corner of the state.

Politicians on both sides are making bold statements, and some Georgians don't want to forfeit water that should be legally theirs.  Threats of armed violence can already be heard.

As a native son of Georgia, I guess I'll have to load the musket and stand guard on Lookout Mountain ;-)  As Mark Twain once said, whiskey is for drinking and water is for fighting.
