Is it really that bad in the US?

The State of Oregon has declared war on sustainable living and self- reliance by criminalizing rainwater collection. A man who owns 170 acres of land is now being sent to jail and fined over $1500 for the "crime" of "stealing water from the state" by collecting rainwater on his own land!

This is not a joke. It's yet another example of runaway collectivism that is fast spreading across America.

Importantly, if Oregon can claim ownership of the rainwater that falls on your land, the state could also outlaw solar panels by claiming "sunlight photons" are the property of the state, too!
