My answer was to try to find a cheaper way to do it that's still good, if you can. Taking responsibility and doing things the right way is always the best. People worked hard to build that, they deserve the reward. I was drunk at the time, though, and thinking clearly. After I sobered up, it became a conundrum for me.
The whole town is based on theft of a resource, yeah, but why is that resource so scarce to begin with? When I see Trump opening up a lot of water out that way (I don't live there, my uncle does), I think to myself - the left stole a lot more water to begin with, and that's probably why it's so scarce.
Then there's the idea that nature belongs to everyone. I dunno. Part of me believes that some of that is true. If we lose all open areas, we lose some freedom there. But, does that extend to something someone developed, even if water is a part of nature? I don't think so. I don't think the government should be tying up so much of a resource people depend on just to be alive. Anyway, I can keep going on that for hours, that's just the start.
In the end, in my experience, doing things the right way usually ends up cheaper than trying to bypass responsibility. So, I agree with drunk me. Still, it's an interesting thought experiment for me.
The idea that if they fixed that river bed, then someone from the town went and broke it again? Is that theft? Or is that someone exercising freedom and saving a town? Again, I agree with drunk me, but it's interesting to think about.
