[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3064910, member: 13624"] It kind of is in there.

If I hit dennishoddy in the face, he might have a beef with me, but you don't; you have no controversy [I]with me[/I], and therefore standing to sue me for it. Standing (and the related doctrine of "mootness") work to keep only actual controversies before the courts (and even they have some exceptions; [I]Roe v.
