Yes, I really do. If you tell me that I don't own my house after 5 years, at which point some organization called HouseCANN is going to roll the dice and decide whether I get to keep it, I am going to be very cagey about what I invest in that house. I will NOT put any money into it that doesn't reap a short-term return. And I will also spend a hell of a lot of time lobbying, and possibly bribing or corrupting, the board of HouseCANN. Every day they will get a brochure telling them how great a house administrator I am. I will buy off every GNSO constituency I can. etc., etc.
