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!

That one is hard to believe but you never know the extent of aggressive greed and ignorance those types are capable of. Add to that fracking,
which is real. It is a war on the people of the US by corporate greed, warmongering surrogates and ignorant nouveau riche class. Thank the tea party types, their political associates and their sponsors and handlers for much of this.
Paul Wheaton, rightly so, encourages doing something worthwhile and positive instead of wasting time railing against the bad guys.
In the county next to me if property owners don't stand up for their rights they will have the frackers all over adjoining leased land drilling and fracking for gas, possibly horizontally under their own land opening the possibility that their drinking water may become permanently polluted, without any compensation to them.
Have you been to see Sepp Holzer's farm?
We need more Sepp's here in the US.
