Everyone has a point at which they start to worry about survival, and how they view common resources. If you were at a large freshwater dam, you would probably not have a problem with a bunch of kids horsing around with supersoakers. Your attitude about the right of people to do what they like with water would most probably change if you were stuck in an arid desert at a small watering hole sharing it with a bunch of kids horsing around with supersoakers.
That's an awesome analogy - and seems very accurate
