Colorado, when men are men and sheep are scared.

I like C-mans original post. The best way to end all the shit is to stop buying all the shit. Start living more self sufficient and cut the head off the beast. It's no wonder why they are outlawing collecting rain water, having gardens, selling raw milk etc. They are TRYING to scare and intimidate people from taking control of their lives. Because they want all the control...and your money. We are all slaves to THEIR system....all by design...it wasn't no coincidence.

SH, My earlier statement was generalizing and not specific for CO. But I must admit you are dead wrong on your conspiracy assumption.

As for CO and "conspiracies", see below (note: you must have a private well, otherwise it's still "illegal")

"The two Colorado laws allow perhaps a quarter-million residents with private wells to begin rainwater harvesting, as well as the setting up of a pilot program for larger scale rain-catching." More good info in the article here:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/29/us/29rain.html?_r=2&

In WA and Utah it's "legal" but only if you own the water rights to your property.

I am unsure what the laws are in other states but will gladly look up the info and pass it on when I get some time.Yesterday, I fell off a ladder onto some roof rafters and broke a rib. It hurts like a mutha but I got to finish the roof today.

Oregon guy busted:
In the latest abuse of power, a man in Oregon has been sentenced to 30 days in jail and ordered to pay a $1,500 fine for collecting rainwater on his own land. Gary Harrington was convicted of nine misdemeanor crimes for filling his three man-made reservoirs with rainwater and snow runoff. The state of Oregon claims the water that fell from the sky, is owned by them and the Medford Water Commission.

As unreal as it may sound, at least 9 states have made it illegal to collect rainwater on your own land. Utah, Oregon, Colorado and a number of other states have passed rainwater laws that either limit or all out ban the collection of rainwater.

There appears to be a lot of county restrictions in certain states that vary from county to county as well.

What we have been seeing in this eroding country are laws designed to make everyone criminals and felons. More laws=more criminals.

I understand the frustration.....but here in Colorado...the Water Rights tier/allotment/share system has been in place since the 1890's. No laws are being eroded...it's just that there's an ever-increasing faction in the population who don't believe that laws have any meaning or apply to them and an ever-increasing demand on a finite resource...

Rainfall (snowfall) affects groundwater...groundwater affects stream flows. No water in the stream...no water in your tap to drink or fight the fire in your home. That's what >I< see.

Thanks for the info kolah. I see links to sites where towns like Littleton instruct their citizens how to collect rainwater....so I need to look into the >private well< parameter you provided further. Either way.....in Colorado....like the wildlife...the State owns/controls ALL of the water so that ALL of the citizens have access to a steady supply of water. Like I say....I see it differently than some because I don't expect something to be given to me that isn't mine in the first place. Such is why we are only looking at properties that have designated water rights.

Share this list of shocking questions with everyone you know that needs to wake up. Sometimes asking good questions is the best way to get someone that you care about to understand something. When I attended law school, I became very familiar with something called “the Socratic method”. It is a method that has been traditionally used in law schools all over the United States. Law professors will bombard their students with questions, and the goal is to stimulate critical thinking and allow students to discover the answers for themselves. Many times those of us that can see what is happening to this country get frustrated when we try to get others to see what is so apparent to us. But instead of preaching to them, perhaps asking questions would be more helpful. When you ask someone a question, they are almost forced to think about what you just said and come up with a response. And without a doubt, the fact that America is in decline is undeniable. Those that would choose to blindly have faith in the system are foolish, because it is glaringly obvious that the system is failing. Our economy is heading for collapse and the world around us is becoming more unstable with each passing day. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that the number of preppers in the United States is absolutely exploding. Some estimates put the number of preppers in the U.S. as high as 3 million, and the movement continues to explode.
So exactly what is a “prepper”? Well, the truth is that there is a tremendous amount of diversity among the people that fall under that label.
To me, you don’t have to move to Montana and store 500 cases of MREs in a nuclear fallout shelter to be considered a prepper. I believe that anyone that can see a very serious crisis coming and that is taking steps to prepare for that crisis would be considered a prepper. You might be living next to one and never even know it. Many families have converted spare rooms into food pantries or are taking survival training on the weekends. Others have renewed their interest in gardening or have started to invest in precious metals. As far as I am concerned, anything that you can do to become more self-sufficient and more independent of the system is a good thing, because the system is rapidly failing.
Perhaps you are reading this and you are thinking that people who are “preparing for disaster” are being rather foolish. Well, I encourage you to read the list of questions that I have compiled below and come to your own conclusions.
The following are 50 shocking questions that you should ask to anyone that is not a prepper yet…
#1 Why are sales of physical silver coins breaking all sorts of all-time records? The U.S. Mint is on pace to sell more silver eagles during the first month of 2013 than it did during the entire year of 2007.
#2 Why has Germany announced that it will be moving gold from New York and Paris to its own vaults back home? Is this a sign of a breakdown in trust among global central banks?

#21 Why are Americans not more outraged that TSA goons are manhandling the private areas of our women and our children in the name of “national security”?
#22 Why is an elderly survivor of the Nazi occupation of Austria, Kitty Werthmann, warning that America is heading down the exact same path that she experienced?
#23 If the economy is in good shape, then why are more than one out of every four U.S. workers with a 401(k) raiding those funds in order to pay current expenses?
#24 Why does the Federal Reserve continue to insist that the economy is “improving” when it obviously is not?
#25 Why can so few Americans explain how money is created in the United States?
#26 Why has the U.S. dollar declined in value by well over 95 percent since the Federal Reserve was created?
#27 Why is the U.S. national debt more than 5000 times larger than it was when the Federal Reserve was created?
 
#14
#28 Why isn’t the mainstream media in the U.S. discussing the fact that the U.S. dollar is in danger of losing its status as the primary reserve currency of the world?
#29 Why don’t more Americans know about the quadrillion dollar derivatives bubble?
#30 Why did the U.S. national debt grow during the first four years of the Obama administration by about as much as it did from the time that George Washington took office to the time that George W. Bush took office?
#31 Why is the middle class in America bringing home a smaller share of the overall income pie than has ever been recorded before?
#32 If the U.S. economy is producing a healthy number of good jobs, then why are we spending nearly a trillion dollars a year on welfare?
#33 If the U.S. economy is not collapsing, then why has the number of Americans on food stamps grown from 17 million in the year 2000 to more than 47 million today?
#34 If America is still an economic powerhouse, then why have we lostmore than 56,000manufacturing facilities since 2001?
#35 Why are we losing half a million jobs to China every single year?
#36 Why were one out of every ten homes sold in the state of California last year purchased by Chinese citizens?
#37 Why has the percentage of men with jobs in the United States fallen so dramatically? Back in 1950, more than 80 percent of all men in the United States had jobs. Today, less than 65 percent of all men in the United States have jobs.
#38 Why are so many Americans poor today? According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 146 million Americans are either “poor” or “low income”. Why is this happening?
#39 Why does the U.S. government have a website that teaches immigrants how to sign up for welfare programs once they arrive in the United States?
#40 Why has the number of gang members living in the United States risen by an astounding 40 percent just since 2009?
#41 Why does approximately one out of every three children in the United States live in a home without a father? Can such a society prosper in the long run?
#42 Why are our supermarkets being flooded with genetically-modified foods when a whole host of studies have shown that they are potentially dangerous to human health?
#43 If the economy has “improved” during the Obama years, then why are hunger and poverty still absolutely skyrocketing in the United States?
#44 Why are more than a million public school students in the United States homeless?
#45 Why are more than 50 percent of all children in Detroit living in poverty? Detroit used to be one of the greatest cities in the entire world. How did such prosperity turn into such desolation?
#46 Why did a violent riot break out at an event where government-subsidized section 8 housing vouchers were being handed out in a suburb of Detroit earlier this month? Is this the kind of unrest that we can expect to see all over the country when things get really bad?
#47 Why are cities all over the United States making it illegal to feed the homeless?
#48 Why is the UN trying to take control of the Internet?
#49 Why have global food supplies sunk to their lowest level in nearly 40 years?
#50 Why is global power concentrated in so few hands? According to the Swiss Federal Institute, a network of 147 mega-corporationscontrol 40 percent of all the wealth in the world, and in a previous article I described how just six obscenely powerful corporations completely dominate the media industry in the United States. Is it good for such incredible power to be concentrated in the hands of so few people?

Portugal always seemed nice..

Water is a funny thing, it's basically our gold in terms of real value, hence the ridiculous penalties for "stealing" it. Water rights and thermal rights equal serious power as a landowner...Seems in Colorado there is always a volatile discussion about water collection since so much of the precipitation that falls here is also allotted for use in Arizona, Utah, Nevada, California, Navajo Land... Via the Colorado River

Part of me takes issue with people having grass and swimming pools in the desert... Seems like a misappropriation of water that could be put to good use... Then you have the Bellagio...people just should not live in the desert... People don't really enjoy Vegas do they? I just figured all the blinking light and tits attracted the suckers...

Go to a town like Ward and damn near every citizen can school you on the current legislation involving the ever evolving battle to maintain their clean water rights. Until recently they had fresh clean spring water flowing through the pipes in town- just a few months ago I think there was a vote to begin chlorinating the supply... Major local outrage spurned by the suburban fearaholics... Can't remember the outcome, though I think chlorine won.

Key word above, natural...."town". Again...I understand the frustration of being "forced" to adhere to State laws and stuff.... but hey...nobody says you must chlorinate a private well...so those folks who have a beef with such practices will simply need to make provisions to stand on their own and opt out of any "municipal" or organized water system that sells water for public consumption...all of which must meet CO State minimum standard for drinking water. Might not be "fair"...but it's the way it is.

And hey...it shouldn't be a huge deal for the guys who are self-sufficient in every other aspect of their lives to buy a property with a well/with water free of chlorine...right? Who wants to live in town anyway? :D (not me) I think we're gonna start an old folks commune...
 
#19
that's it...I cant stand this talk about water being like gold.....:confused:
I am going to build this water park :p

Homesteading is such a badass goal as a community... I'm not an old folk, but my wife says I'm an old man at heart... Is that good enough?
