RE: Blue No More Part 2: The Aral Sea and The Aralkum Desert
Well, there is the High Aswan Dam in Egypt, which though nominally altruistic, was fairly publicly merely a vanity project, and it's another contender for worst environmental disaster- but it might be one of the exceptions that prove the rule here.
Had that fool Nasser intentionally burnt down half of Cairo and constructed his version of domus aurea, he would have done more for the welfare of the Egyptian people than all his so-called modernizing projects. What sheer hubris to imagine he, Nasser, can bend the Nile to his will and "improve" the annual Nile floods. There is a special place in hell for megalomaniac reformers like Nasser.
One of my ideas for a comic literally starts with one of the returned Egyptian gods kicking down the Aswan High Dam.
Great post as always!
Sounds like an awesome comic too. This is what I imagine it would look like with the Gods coming in (led by Osiris) to take out the Aswan Dam:

Once your comic gets to the big screen, would be awesome to have this playing in the background whilst Osiris kicks down the Aswan dam. Not to take away from any of the merits of the comic (which I am sure will be awesome based on your current and former posts).
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
