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

Now that I've thought about it some people do have the money and the means for collecting and taking huge amounts of water. That being said I don't think having the gov in charge of rain water is a good idea. It would be like turning over our money to the gov and expecting them to do the right thing...wait...what!!!

They don't bother those 'people' with means (the very wealthy and corporations cause they all make political contributions that matter. They, especially the EPA, go after the little guy. I feel sorry for the fool they send after some folks,particularly out west, to tell them they can't collect rain off their roofs. Next they'll be taxing farmers who feed us for the rain on their crops. I mean really 'they didn't grow that' crop by themselves. Since the rain that belongs to all of us nurtured your crops you should share your crops with all of us. FOR FREE. Yeah I want tickets to that show. Uh huh.

In Angel and the Badman, John Wayne (Quirt Evens) demonstrates how to keep the big guy water hoarders (Fred CArson) in line without goberment interference. I don't know if anyone can find/post the appropriate clip for it but if you haven't watched Angel and the Badman enough times to have memorized already you can watch it starting at 40:00. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyiirU6npQ0Then I would suggest you go back and watch the whole movie, unless you voted for Obama, in which case it wouldn't do any good anyway.

JJ 'Jake' Gittes (Jack Nicholson) is a private detective who is hired by Evelyn Mulwray to investigate her husband Hollis, the engenier of the water department, because she thinks he's having an affair. Gittes finds out later that her client wasn't the real Mrs. Mulwray. After her husband dies at the water reservoir, Jake gets deeply involved in the case. He has a romance with the real Evelyn Mulwray (Faye Dunaway) and finds out she is the daughter of Noah Cross (John Huston), one of the most powerful men in Los Angeles, who has interests in the lands near the reservoir. Chinatown won the Academy Award of Best Original Screenplay in 1975. The Movie had a total of 11 nominations: Best Picture Best Director (Roman Polanski) Best Actor in a Leading Role (Jack Nicholson) Best Actress in a Leading Role (Faye Dunaway) Best Original Screenplay Best Cinematography Best Film Editing Best Art Direction Best Costume Design Best Sound Best Original Dramatic Score www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yJJWXhXbuI

Didn't the movie Chinatown dramatize the California water war? While you are correct (good score) are you seriously comparing Chinatown (anything really) with a John Wayne movie? Especially Angel and the Badman? I mean really? Lol. Might as well include Silkwood too. Yeah yeah I know it was high levels of plutonium but they were dumping in 'water'. :-)

The Duke is, well the Duke. Even Chuck Norris tips his hat in respect to Mr. Wayne! Chisholm, True Grit, The Shootist, Rooster C, Green Berets, just to name a few. For a kid who grew up on Eastwood, I firmly believe the Duke was the man among men. Few ever lived up to their image off screen quite the way he did (even if he was a bit of a drinker). No, I only bring up the movie Chinatown to illistrate Kalifornia's messed up water story for contrast (although Nicholson does have his own solid niche). JMO.

He died a multi millionaire. Came from wealth, college grad in accounting, was married to a DuPont for awhile. Made a fortune in the stock market. Died a happy man they say. Only made westerns the last decade of his life it seems. And yes that was a Line in the Statler Bros song

Read more: survivalbunker.proboards.com/thread/8331/government-claims-ownership-over-water#ixzz37V3edtiuA bit of a drinker says he. That would be like saying the Irish take a nip now and then. One story has it while on the border filming an un-named western he ran a bar tab at the small watering hole he liked to visit after the last take everyday. When the tab got up to around $10k (that is not a mistake I made, it is a ten) the owner started to worry and said something to another visitor from the set who liked to take a drink or three at the end of the day. Mr. Ford assured the tab would get paid, adding if it did not let him know and he would pay it. Now this was not a tap that was drink on my only Mr. Wayne, it was usually drinks for the house and the large parties Mr. Wayne brought with him. But Mr. Wayne could put back a drink or two. Two weeks later when shooting for the movie wrapped and Mr. Wayne had his last drink at the place he paid his tab dbl as a tip, as he did quit often. He was a bit of a drinker all right, but he could/did hold his liquor.

And yes that was a Line in the Statler Bros song We all (well those of us old enough to appreciate some of the older western stars) know he was rich. But was he happy? www.bing.com/images/search?q=Was+Randolph+Scott+Gay&FORM=RESTABIt truly makes no difference to me I will always watch a RS/CG/GC/RH/JD movie because they were great actors and made great movies. And "frankly my dear I don't give a damn"
