I don't see how this reply is relevant to my reply. My comment did not claim there was "no precedent" for this in law, but that it simply isn't feasible for people to own the oceans, nor is his proposed "labor mixing" idea feasible as the basis of private property appropriation, at least in many important cases. Right now you are claiming that water privatization is a good idea, as is the person whose essay you quoted, and if you want to persuade anybody who is opposed to it because it isn't feasible, you simply are going to have to explain how it is in fact feasible.
