Water isn't a human right. We don't do positive rights because they are promises that can't be kept. Is food a "right" during a famine? Is water a "right" during a drought? Is education a "right" if the teachers boycott? Hell, it's not even a "right" for the kids who have teachers. They go to school and don't learn a damn thing. And don't get me started on healthcare being a "right." You have no right to drugs that I own. If you want to exercise your "right" to my drugs, you have to pay for them, and the same goes for my medical advice. If you want it, you have to pay me for it. If government forces me to give you my drugs to satisfy your "right", it has stolen from me and violated my right to own my own property, and if it forces me to give you my medical expertise to satisfy your "right", it has forced me to work involuntarily and without compensation. That's called slavery.
There are no positive rights, because the only way to ensure them is theft and slavery.
The only rights that exist are promises a government can actually keep: the promise NOT to do things. We won't stop you from saying what you want. That's a right. We won't steal your guns. We won't quarter our troops in your home. We won't search your personal documents without proving we have reasonable suspicion you've committed a crime. We won't force you to confess to crimes you didn't commit. We won't hold you indefinitely without a trial, etc.
The Nestle guy is correct. Water is not a "right."
Youre talking like water doesnt just fall from the sky. Water isnt a commodity like drugs, medical care or even most food. Like the air we breath, water requires no human input to exist but all need it to live.
This is the slope youre on...The protection of molecule h2o will eventually be deemed a national emergency and its collection and distribution will be regulated into the hands of only a few corporations for the greater good.
Thats the goal. No more rain collection, no more private wells, no more public water departments, no more man-made ponds or diversions for agricultural purposes or pumping lake water for farm animals. All that ends.
Theres an idea that right to water means free bottled water or some shit, but thats not it. Just like the 2A doesnt guarentee everyone a gun, just the right to possess them, a right to water means an individual has a right to possess water.
No im not. I gave specific examples of what im talking about. There are currently communities in this country barred from collecting rain water because no right to water exists. Those types of govt. policies are the wet dreams of CEOs like the one pictured above.
I agree. People are too careless with the word "rights".
It's a bit of a litmus test when I meet someone new. If they ever talk about "rights" I just roll my eyes
