Stupid World

[Brian d marge]

Oh look, Big Government does something else you don't like. In fact there's nothing new about it at all, it's amongst the oldest legislation in history.

It's purpose is to prevent someone monopolizing water resources. And you'd be the very first to bleat like a stuck pig if your uphill neighbor prevented you getting access to "your share" of the stream.

In fact given the number of dry rivers this summer I could wish there was a bunch more such legislation here.

T'was No. 1 off the rank for example purposes.

Who would have ever thought eh.

... coz it's a lack of legislation that's responsible for water usage. Good one.

Given that many rural properties here rely on rainwater off the roof (either solely or in conjunction with other sources) as their only source of household water, the effect of that legislation in Godzone would be disastrous for us rural dwellers.

Yeah, it's not like there's ever much relevance to your links.

Obviously not you.

Lack of effective legislation, correct.

We already have similar legislation. Almost every country does.

There is. Just not the relevance you choose for my reason for posting.

Zero chickens.

Legislation is a retrospective act of punishment. The harsher the punishment, the more law bending will be prevalent. Just hope that ye have enough money to have ones misdemeanor quashed as economically expedient. Effective legislation indeed, ha.

No logical relevance, no.

There's your relevance problem again.

Your own definition I take it? Or is there another Stupid Worlder idiot enough to spout such shite?

The you missed at least 1 logical reason. Meh.

Fact.

Show me legislation in Godzone that prohibits rainwater being collected.

Well you can't do anything with it (apart from providing stock-water) without a water right - unless you buy it off the council for a specific purpose!
