[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 686368, member: 944"] I have been a personal victim of governmental over reach on the issue of waterways of the USA so I have little...no, make that NO sympathy for the left's views in this regard. I own some land. There is literally a ditch running through the land that is generally dry, but fills with rains and floods with very heavy rains. The local government has informed me this ditch is now considered a federal waterway and that there are now a bevy of restrictions upon me, with no compensation of course. In any other place, this would be considered a "taking" which is what happens when a government 'takes' land for social purposes. But the Federal Government is often exempt from such claims or lawsuits. Plus small folks like me could never afford the legal fees to challenge them. All because of over-reaching bureaucrats in DC who often have little or no clue about how their regulations will affect real people in the real world. Yes, I am angry about such cavalier attitudes. There is no social benefit to this in the rural area where this land is located. It is ...ridiculous. [/QUOTE]
