    but they're still the ghetto blocks that only the ghetto children have,
    nothing changing that fact.

    We should also dump domain name registration. Just because that nerd Bezos pays a bunch of jerks eleven bucks a year, what gives him the right to the name Amazon? He gets the name amazon.com as his intellectual property, and I get squat. He should open it up to competition.

    Hopefully, now that Lego has been forced to allow interoperation, other more innovative building brick companies can fill the void.

    Yes, yes, there really should be an open community based building brick standard.

    I suggest the formation of the Building Brick Committee to oversee all matters of the brick, and to appease all nations it would be affiliated with the UN.
