GUILTY VERDICT: In Oregon, rainwater falling on your own land doesn’t actually belong to you. Gary Harrington built 3 reservoirs on his 170-acre property to collect rainwater & snowmelt for fire protection.

The state demanded he drain every drop. “All water belongs to us.” He refused. They hit him with 9 misdemeanors, jailed him for 30 days, and fined him more than $15,000. This is government claiming ownership of the sky. What’s next — your air? Your soil? Actually… yes.
