On a more serious note, take this as an example of a constituency speaking out in favor of its preferences. Do we know that those preferences are of the majority? No, since we asked neither the population, nor a random sample, but a self-selected sample.
Bottom Line: A few people are not representative of all the people.

Curious about: Discussions of water resources typically deal exclusively with freshwater. Is seawater a resource, and, if so, why does it not factor into the discussion more (i.e., saline water for energy production, downstream impacts of water pollution, saltwater intrusion, etc.)?
Good question. You basically answered it: seawater is a resource when we put value on the functions it serves...
