You're Stealing The Raindrops That Fall Gently On Your Face

They belong to someone else, thief.

Collecting rainwater now illegal in many states as Big Government claims ownership over our water

"(NaturalNews) 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."

Unbelievable! Thought for a moment this was an Onion article.

I would put this on the list of stupid laws; laws designed by government for the sole purpose of fining people and collecting extra money.

Yes, absolutely. It's odious how authoritarians want to steal our birthrights and then sell them back to us.
