Man Sentenced to 30 Days for Catching Rain Water on Own Property Enters Jail

By Kendra Alleyne

Gary Harrington, the Oregon man convicted of collecting rainwater and snow runoff on his rural property surrendered Wednesday morning to begin serving his 30-day, jail sentence in Medford, Ore.

?I?m sacrificing my liberty so we can stand up as a country and stand for our liberty,? Harrington told a small crowd of people gathered outside of the Jackson County (Ore.) Jail.

Several people held signs that showed support for Harrington as he was taken inside the jail.

Harrington was found guilty two weeks ago of breaking a 1925 law for having, what state water managers called ?three illegal reservoirs? on his property. He was convicted of nine misdemeanors, sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined over $1500 for collecting rainwater and snow runoff on his property.

Study: Concept of property rights may come naturally to preschoolers

By Bruce Bower

WASHINGTON ? Young children are possessed by possessions. Preschoolers argue about what belongs to whom with annoying regularity, a habit that might suggest limited appreciation of what it means to own something.

But it?s actually just the opposite, psychologist Ori Friedman of the University of Waterloo in Canada reported on May 28 at the Association for Psychological Science annual meeting. At ages 4 and 5, youngsters value a person?s ownership rights ? say, to a crayon ? far more strongly than adults do, Friedman and psychology graduate student Karen Neary found.

Rather than being learned from parents, a concept of property rights may automatically grow out of 2- to 3-year-olds? ideas about bodily rights, such as assuming that another person can?t touch or control one?s body for no reason, Friedman proposed.
