This collecting of rainwater is not everywhere, Just in some parts of the country. Oregon is most notable. Some guy had a farm and would collect the rain water and have it go through filters to water his plants and livestock. Somewhere down the line, county officials declared that water coming from the sky belongs to the government, so anyone collecting it without a permit or license is stealing. They used this guy as an example. Fined him, and ordered his home made designed filters to be destroyed. I see it as the rulers of this country are threatened with intelligence, so they will punish those who use that intelligence.
To lay your hands on someone today, give them a massage, you need to spend $14k to go through massage school to do that! And anyone can learn massage from DVD's and books!
You mean when I massage a GF or get a massage, I had to have spent 14K? Wow.
Didn't know that.
Or do you mean when someone goes into business where their very touch can pass along unsanitary germs and viruses, where they can accidentally hurt someone and then walk? Where they perform a public activity that should be taxed? Is this a denial of your individual rights or protection of the public?
Who is charging 14K? Is this a government charge? Or is this some other citizen taking advantage of their rights to commerce? What's to stop you from getting the required training and charging ONLY $2K to new students?
That reminded me of something my dad would scream out while we were kids riding in the car with him.
"J**** C*****! They'll give anybody a license.
I grew up in WPB, Florida. You would be surprised by the number of people who are driving in that city that are driving illegally. No license, stolen tags, no insurance. And they are the most dangerous drivers, because if they cause a car crash, they just jump out and flee the scene, knowing the cops can't trace the car. They lay low, then steal another car, another license plate, and then keep on breaking the law.
We are also FREE to comment, protest, vote, and try to change things for the better. If you want fascism, just accept every new reduction of your rights, and freedoms that just comes down the pike. You are free to leave too.

I am not sure how things work with how schooling is priced here in the US, but, I have seen clinics and hospitals, as well as veterinarian offices employ doctors, techs and nurses that were trained in other countries. Almost all of my doctors and vets are from India, and nurses are from Haiti. I also noticed most nail salons that have massage therapy in them, are often operated by the Asian community.
I dont think many people realize, its our DUTY as Americans to disobey laws and regulations like this!
This is tyranny, plain and simple. I cannot think of one aspect of daily life that Govt does not have their grubbby paws in to some degree, that is NOT the govt the framers of the nation sought.
Ive said it before...in the US today, real patriotism would look more domestic terrorism!
I saw proof of this recently with all the July 4th celebrations, it seems they equate patriotism with subservience and obedience. LOL
1.) Build a house
2.) public locomotion
3.) fish or hunt your food
4.) get married
5.) collect rain water
6.) self medicate
7.) kill yourself
Now repeat after me... I am FREE.
Just another of BentBow's rants where he fashions himself as living as a lonely pioneer in the early 1800's in a vast and empty country. Where the things he chooses to do have NO effect on neighbors; where if he wanted he could build his own unsanitary water system spreading flies, mosquito's and cholera and no one can say anything because he did it on "his land."
Sorry dude, but your land butts up against my land and there are reasons that governments are created and pass rules to protect us from you.
I call BS on this. ONLY self-employed Ministers can opt out and only for their religious based income. Yes, cities, counties, etc. can opt out of SS with the right kind of approved plan.

You are the least free person I've ever run into. You are a prisoner of your own paranoia and that giant chip you carry around on your shoulders.
