These people were given water rights in perpetuity. How many will ever correct, will drawn down their usage voluntarily? Does society have to pay them for this unearned gift we never had to give, that they were granted?
- midoridensha 4y agoSomehow I doubt the people given water rights in perpetuity are still alive today. At some point, governments should not be held liable for bad promises made centuries ago which simply can't be kept today.
- rektide 4y agoIf only it were so simple. Maybe it is. This feels like one of the most Lawful Evil, Imminate'ing the Escharon'ing ruinating region-murdering life-destroying things the USG has done, and which it continues to perpetuate. The idea that law must be upheld blindly at any cost, for law itself sake, for "stability" sake is so fallen. The furtherance of these grotesque rights is the use of law to end life, to ruin the country. The law was the mistake, is the instability, and it should not be honored, it's idea should not besmirch just & right laws. These should be rolled back in huge degree, with not a penny paid. But I have no idea how we do it. Instead we just wait for the rivers to go dry, wait for the end.
