I mean, get as angry as you want, but water rights are water rights and if you don't have them, then nothing else you have to say matters.

If you've been in farming or ranching, you know about how big of a deal water rights issues are. And if you want to somehow argue against water rights in general, you've got your work cut out for you.

Water rights laws originally involved natural bodies of water, and had nothing initially to do with artificial ponds composed of rain water run off.

This is just more bullshit from state communist politburo cunts.

I don't care how they were originally implemented.

We've had water rights to a stream running through our property.

The neighbor upstream then built a dam and stopped almost all stream water.

My family cobbled what little money together they could and hired a lawyer.

We sued the neighbor and won and the dam was removed.

This was 100 years ago.

Water rights are not a stupid idea. It's one of the few areas of the government where, overwhelmingly, more little people are protected than hurt.

Don't be stupid and you won't have a bad time.

Fucked up shit going on in Texas but banning the collecting of rain water isn't one of them, don't need a permit either.

The proper response in this scenario is to drown the government official who ordered the destruction of the water supply. I GOT YER FUCKIN' WATER RIGHT HERE

This title is misleading. All freshwater is rainwater, which is how these liars claim to be something they aren't. We're not talking about people collecting rain water for their garden and drinking - their "pond" is 2 acres and holds 4 MILLION gallons of water. That's not a pond, it's a fucking lake. It's enough water to supply 80 households. Hording that water in a place where people's wells are running dry should be prosecuted.

All water is rain water, you idiot.

Never, ever willingly walk into a government office without a competent lawyer. Governments are hostile to citizens. If they think they can rob you somehow, they will. If they perceive others may follow your lead and it could become a threat to them, they will fight you. It's best to beg forgiveness than to turn them on to your scent. The previous owners did the correct thing by not engaging the local government in anyway. Leave the government alone! Do not attract attention to yourself. This is my cardinal rule.

Here's a fun little bit of trivia for you:
If you live in town, you have to pay a runoff tax, which is literally a tax on the rain that falls onto your property, then runs off into the government-owned street.
So, apparently, rainwater switches owners a few times during its short descent to the ground.
