Every time a natural resource is put under the control of Government, that resource becomes a weapon. It will be withheld from those the State wishes to punish or eradicate, and awarded to those the State wishes to reward or retain. History is very clear on this point. Ask the Irish.

Don't tell me you've never heard of the tragedy of the commons. It's where something is left effectively on the honor system of no regulations, and as that thing gets scarce people purposefully use more of it because it's getting scarce creating a worsening problem.
