Rain Water

[ziero0]

Source - Bouviers Law Dictionary

When the Land remains in a State of Nature, says a learned writer, and by the natural descent, the rain water would descend from the superior estate over the lower, the latter is necessarily subject to receive such water.

I suppose with any Land not in a State of Nature rain water flows from the inferior to the superior (aka uphill). A political example of this calls itself 'socialism' in the foothills and 'communism' in more mountainous regions.

Here in the proletariat of Washington you don't own the water that falls from the sky onto your land.

Ahhh, Bottom. If you had the status to own Land you would have absolute control over it. And if you had that status you would even have the capacity to own a loaf of bread from Walmart. The hole in that logic is the status of Walmart to actually transfer ownership to you.

Status? Unh, my status is somewhere between none and zero.

status (n.)
1670s, "height" of a situation or condition, later "legal standing of a person" (1791), from Latin status "condition, position, state, manner, attitude," from past participle stem of stare "to stand," from PIE *ste-tu-, from root *sta- "to stand, make or be firm." Sense of "standing in one's society or profession" is from 1820.

Status coincides with attitude. That's all it takes.
