I go for 100%.

Then rethink each & every regulation put into place in the first place & think twice about anything new.

An Oregon man spent 30 days in jail this summer because he put a bucket under his roof gutter downspout to catch water to use in his garden.

The authorities told him that ALL the water that falls on his property is under the control of the Federal Government.

Not the federal government, under control of the state, the "watermaster's" office. All surface water belongs to the state and now they want to control the wells by putting meters on them.

In Real Estate school I learned it has always been that when you buy property you own into space and to the center of the earth of your parcel. Now we only own into the center of the earth as our airspace rights have been taken from us. Now they want control of the minerals in the dirt beneath our feet.

I have asked the watermaster when as God gives it from heaven does the state take control of the rain?

This was the State, not the Feds.

He built retention ponds. He was not using a bucket.
