Perhaps a simple sound comes to mind, the sloshing and gurgling of the water running along its predetermined path. All are marvelous. But what if that river is shorter than just two Olympic-sized swimming pools? What comes to mind then?

Montana Constitution: that Clean and Healthful Environment Thing
