Michigan is a real problem for the water grabbers. I personally think the overtaxation and overregulation are an intentional means of driving us out.
At one time, there was talk of billing people for using the water in their private wells. They already bill companies for sewage from rain runoff (calculated based of the square footage of their roof).
“Michigan is a real problem for the water grabbers. I personally think the overtaxation and overregulation are an intentional means of driving us out.”
The UN Agenda 21. Our bureaucrats and the UN are of one mind. It goes deeper than our elections.
The move to meter, then regulate well water use is gearing up in Washington State. (Its for salmon, you know)
A couple years ago I caught some clown measuring the distance between my well and the lakeshore where I live. He said he was conducting a survey of how much groundwater was being drawn from boundry margins around waterways.
He then wanted to know if I water my lawn, how many bathrooms, showers, sinks etc. About then I decided it was time for him to go.
We also have the Raisin river land trust keeping tabs on everyone along the river. They come by in kayaks a couple times per year to take notes and pictures to document what we do along the shore.
Advanced Alinski-ism. I'll bet Hillary wrote about this in her graduate thesis. Bet she got an A too!
Yeah, I saw an agenda 21 map that showed the great lakes basin as a vast World Heritage park.
The Great Smokey Mountian National Park is now an “international Biosfphere”
On the sign at main office.
There have been a few glimmers of sanity in that area:
“DENVER — One new law set to take effect Wednesday [July 1, 2009] will allow Colorado homeowners to collect rainwater, if they can prove they’re not infringing on other water users’ rights. That’s right, rainwater. It will be legal for homeowners to use rainwater for fire protection, animals, irrigation and household use.” — Monday, June 29, 2009

When I was in Michigan’s upper peninsula a couple years ago I read some literature about the future of the parks. The would like to see the national parks closed to private vehicle traffic and visitors could ride shuttles.
I told the park ranger that it would be enough to make sure I never returned. He admitted that it was very likely the true goal.
Great post and great thread. Where do totalitarians stop?
Life, liberty and the pursuit and destruction of totalitarians.
Here in FloriDUH, the Possum Police, A.K.A. Game Commission, has ‘partnered’ with the Feddies to push another billion buck boondoggle.
One justification is to prevent desertification!
And, no participant member of the public is allowed to mention that anthropogenic global warming may not be true.
Sez so right on their website.
Just, wow.
Unfortunately, water is a critical issue, especially in the west where farmers and communities and environmentalists are all fighting over it. In other countries it is much worse and will probably result in vicious wars in the next decades.
In addition, the "endangerment" needs to be increased exponentially day-by-day.
Otherwise, the Nation itself will never be able to be removed from it's #1 position on the endangered-species list.
I live about five miles south of the UP/Wi. border and like to play in those parks. I hope what he said is wrong, but the left is bent on just that kind of control.
