I'll be try to be brief, as this will probably generate a lot of noise.
Knowing that you could patent several of the ideas in your books (if you haven't already), and seeing the way that patents have already begun to shape our environment, I wonder what your thoughts are concerning the US Patent Office. Specifically with the way that internet patents have been distributed. A prime example would be Amazon.com's "1-Click". Do you plan on applying for patents for your work? Do you think that the patent office is headed in a good or bad direction?
