  1. Re:Lame Duck Shell Game on FTC Wants To Straighten Out IP Law · · Score: 1

    I think the only option is another branch of government headed by a CIP and supported by, at the very least, a staff of 12,000. Their roles are not yet defined, but we'll figure out something for them to do after we're done hiring.

    I hope you can understand the dire times we live in, and that America needs your support as we make these changes. Thanks for the taxes.

    This is why it should be legal to rob banks, when significant effort has been applied. But only your local banks, of course.

    Yes actually. I'm quite surprised so many people have been naysaying this situation. But honestly, when else have we had the decision-makers from the government, big business, and the best IP lawyers in the same location at the same time?

    Any other bits of space debris scheduled to land during that time?

    You left out government, add that in the mix and now we definitely don't have progress, but can expect our taxes to go up.

    Fun facts:

    Republicans supported black suffrage (being targeted by the KKK after the 15th amendment, and had greater support, as a percentage, for the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than democrats)

    Republicans fought womans suffrage.

    If women could not vote, no democrat would have served as president of the United States in the previous 50 years.
