Its not western water rights law, it goes back farther in history than than, its called Tyrany.

Nobody “owns” rain, or air.

In Oregon, the gub'mnt owns the water rights ~ and it's always been that way as long as it was the property of the United States, which all of it was. Before that it was the property of France, in part, and earlier, of Spain and Russia.

This guy has a choice ~ he can get his permits like everybody else, or move. It's not a tyranny.

While stationed in the U.K., I learned that England’s Subjects are taxed for using screens on their houses because “the Queen’s air flowed through their homes.” While building houses, they pay a special window tax for using “the Queen’s sunlight.”

Maybe we forgot that we’re not subject to the government; the government is subject to us.
