Note “mainly” and the incontrovertible fact that it is the underlying cultural values that provide protection to property. Those values involve a great deal more than property.

Well I do not agree that cultural values provide protection to property, and I sure would disagree that it is “incontrovertible” that such is the relationship.

Because you see, the way the world works, values do not protect themselves. People, people who are free, have to protect those values. There is a correlation between the cultural and the physical, but your connectivity is not in the right order.

Moreover, you are certainly way off base as to where the President fits into this equation. A moralizing President is not the way to reach your goals. Makes you feel good on election day - until the returns come in - but it is the wrong approach.

You are obfuscating the practical by trying to appear more moral. I am not buying.
