Never Again
He walks around in his carapace of comfortability--an air of false confidence, a premonition of failure. Surely he can see the pressure building. Surely he knows his inaction will bring doom upon all those surrounding.
If the purpose of the water is to flow, and the purpose of the dam is to stop it from flowing, then one purpose or the other is failed, and a conflict arises. Perhaps the simplest solution is to have never built a dam ever; allow the waters to flow, as they should.
It is a thing of beauty to allow the natural forces to do their work, and to enjoy the fruits of their labour. Never again should we endeavour to allow a build up, never again should we allow ourselves too much control.

The Dam has been a great resource, and has been proven to be one of BC's best resources.

I don't disagree that we shouldn't mess with mother nature, however, the river still flows... just not as well as before.
Another thing...if there's no Dam, where do we get are resources from? We can't get it from wind, or solar power,so it just makes sence to make a Dam.
Plus...without the dam, we would never get to see James Bond jump off it in Goldeneye
