Termyn8or -> RE: Government Outlaws Rainwater Collection (8/2/2010 10:01:40 AM)

Y'all stay off Hunky's ass on this one. For one I happen to know for a fact that there are so many laws on the books that they could put just about everyone in jail tomorrow. The laws are selectively enforced, giving the government an upper hand when it comes to manipulating society for their own benefit. Just ask findlaw.com just how much disk space it requires to maintain their database.
We have laws against selling raw milk. Why, because the rain helped produce it ? It is a dangerous drug. Why then ?
The assholes have no business telling you what to do with the rain that falls on what is supposedly your property, however we can't keep them totally out of the issue for a couple of reasons. This is where they get their foot in the door so to speak. Because someone has to make some rules for example, about if you own property with a stream on it. In the old days if you had an enemy with a ranch/farm, you could buy property upstream and dam the stream up, which would pretty much shut them down. ALL of the water in that stream was rain at one time. You certainly didn't fill it.
A buddy of mine just showed me his collection system, just the gutters on his garage. The tank is full and though he dopesn't drink the water, he uses it. So if the government would seem to contend that we must lwet the gutters dump into the public sewer system, why do they charge for it rather than pay for it ? In this town water and sewer show up separately on the bill and sewer is about 3X the water usage. They also have an option if you have a big yard, you can get a second meter which does not count in for the calculation of the (larger) sewer portion of the bill.
So if getting rid of this water is such a problem for society, what the hell can be wrong with people just using it ? Well this is the 21st century as someone mentioned so there is only one answer. Money.
You have to understand true greed. It is an insatiable adiction and really, when you were five and the tooth fairy came and left you a quarter under your pillow, they want a dime. I am no kidding and people had better wake up soon and find out how to get these assholes out of office. Otherwise as we pick up the pieces of the total mess they created, they will tax our hands.

Hunky, if there ever was a song for you, that is it. In fact everyone should be well familiar with the lyrics, because that is the way it is.
I have no problem with some regulation concerning what people can do with natural rivers and streams. Remember I live in a city that had a river that burned. Y'all forgot about that dintya, but not me. That was industry that caused that, not Women washing their hair, unless there are some really unknown chemicals in shampoo :-)
This has to stop. There has to be some regulation, but there must be limits. That is what it is all about. Limited government power. Industry got away with polluting the Cuyahoga river to the point where it actually did cacth fire. This was not the actions of a private Citizen, they were operating in commerce.
Enough for now, I have to start a thread because if I go on long it will be a hijack.
