Oh sure, I was considering water as between air and food in this regard.
And as far as management, that is beyond the scope of what I was thinking
about.
But even still, there is something intrinsically different abut land and air v.
food, water and most resources. Land and air don't take human intervention to
be. They can certainly be made better (subject to opinion), but the exist
period. Water too (after all, it rains), but water naturally exists in a place
and I suppose its status as a property depends on what we resolve about places.
And food is even closer to just being normal property since most food is worked
at to exist.
I'm hoping someone can demonstrate to me that I'm wrong, and that those
resources shouldn't be communal. Everything is tidier if that's so. I'm just
not seeing it right now.
