Collecting rainwater now illegal- Big Brother owns the sky

**MAfreedom** · 07-27-2010

Many of the freedoms we enjoy here in the U.S. are quickly eroding as the nation transforms from the land of the free into the land of the enslaved, but what I'm about to share with you takes the assault on our freedoms to a whole new level. You may not be aware of this, but many Western states, including Utah, Washington and Colorado, have long outlawed individuals from collecting rainwater on their own properties because, according to officials, that rain belongs to someone else.

As bizarre as it sounds, laws restricting property owners from "diverting" water that falls on their own homes and land have been on the books for quite some time in many Western states. Only recently, as droughts and renewed interest in water conservation methods have become more common, have individuals and business owners started butting heads with law enforcement over the practice of collecting rainwater for personal use.

We have a similar system here, farmers have to pay a tax or a levy on the rainwater they collect in dams and ponds.
Interestingly Australian homeowners can get a rebate from the government if they install water tanks and solar panels on their homes.
All these environmental problems can be solved by White technology, we just need a fair economic system that isn't based on speculation and profiteering on those resource scarcities.

Excellent.

Would you also post in Wise Use.

Our People need to really see what is happening, and what we plan to do for ourselves in the future.
