First off, it is a bad assumption to believe that the "masses" will give a darn that a few "poor" people who live on the lake are slightly affected by low water. You have resigned yourself to low water for a large portion of the year anyway, and you save money building boat-house on dry sand, so what is the difference (in their eyes). None of us like it, but honestly, what damage is caused by it? I haven't seen any pictures of the property damage portrayed from the photos of Smith Lake at Martin.
Most people cannot afford a big boat. Even more people cannot afford lake property. The people who live on a lake represent less than one percent of the population, and thier income/net worth is within the top 2 percent of population. It isn't news-worthy until you can show a loss (loss of life, or property). It would be different if the water level was permanently lowered, and there was some net loss of value. Keep in mind that your value is already hyper-inflated.
So, it really stinks that the water is low, but it hasn't stopped anyone from getting out on the water and having a good time. Last time I looked most public ramps are open....
AND, keep in mind that a drought affects those in agriculture much more than yourselves and your chosen recreational activities....
