Food and water are a basic human right, when the government can tax and control water from your own property, next they will tax and control the food from your garden.
Many people will sit by and give up their rights as long as the govmt. takes care of them, others will do something about it.
We put time and money into our ponds cause of the many reasons stated on this forum, but this freedom can also be lost. If you feel my position is overstated, stand by and watch.
I wonder how long before this post gets zapped.
