I went seven years ago my wife and i bought a new house and sold their existing house. We went to a title agency. They had about 1000 documents laid out. Initial here, sign here, sacrifice a chicken over here and that we were done. It took one hour for us to sell our property, by new property, one step, 150 steps, 14 years, one hour, one step and desotos point is if you cant prove you own it you dont own it. It is absolutely true that a piece of paper is not a final guaranteed against the government taking your land or your property or whatever but it is a guarantee. It is one more step that someone has to overcome. Its one more impediment to government taking what you have.

30 years, may not be from russias strength, but weakness. That, i think, should inform serious policy thinking about russia and our approach to it. We know that the reset of relations, that the Obama Administration attempted to ork state with moscow in the last four years is, well, not as healthy as it could be, i would say today; right . The reset has been a failure. We know now that the white house is at least beginning to think about what comes next. What this is intended to do is to give them a little bit of food for thought about where russia is headed because knowing where russias heading is determinative to figuring out what our policy towards it should be, so, thank you, guys, ill stop there.
