Wanna explain that one? I did:

So, when you own your house, it does not mean that you have absolute control over it. Specifically, ownership does not imply, and has never in the past implied total control. Across cultures and times. It seems to me that this should be the starting point of comparisons, not some imaginary "absolute control = ownership."

Ownership doesn't equal absolute control? Why is that? what controls do I not have when I own something?
