Drop that cabbage and put your hands in the air
This was in my Inbox today. Not sure of its veracity, but Bechtel has done something similar with water in some South American country, i.e. you can't gather rainwater because the water is on its way to the aquifer, which belongs to them.
So, anyway, anyone heard about this? Quote:

No, but I did read there's some town/suburb in the southwest that doesn't allow downspout rainwater collection, because rain belongs to the local government.
There's probably some important stuff in this bill, giving the government the teeth to take on the ConAgras, which is good because we can't. On the other hand, those same teeth are probably written in such a way they do threaten the little guys. They list who's for and against it, I wonder if that's before or after amendments? Of course the amendments would probably tell how this bill is being shaped, but the sky-is-falling claims are pretty far fetched. You can't grow your own food? C'mon, maybe you can't grow and sell it? Illegal to have seed? Maybe patented modified seed? I'll stick to soylent green. |

I did try to cut and paste salient points, but the page won't let me. |

Water rights are huge here in the South. Many say that in the next 50 years it will be the new oil.
