Journal Journal: Look folks, this is the deal...

You can either have this, or this. You want to feed your addiction to apathetic convenience? These are the choices you leave yourselves so far. Kinda puts the anti-pipeline people at a small disadvantage. I don't know if tar can blow up this good

Journal Journal: Oh, Mama, can this really be the end...?

And what is to become of the archived monkey poo? The entire internet is in there! The REAL internet, not the scandalous, frequently altered, plastic surgery fluff you see everywhere else. No, Slashdot archives are pure, write once! Read forever... I can only hope for the best...

Well, they kinda have to, otherwise the judge will be... replaced. These guys are a pretty tight group. They don't make their careers by rocking the boat. The voters are the last hope. If they can't be bothered then all bets are off. The constitution is just another piece of nice literature describing an imaginary land that does not exist in the physical realm.

Start by making the patent non-transferable. The owner can sell a non-exclusive license (meaning that anyone who can pay the price gets to use the patent, prohibition not allowed) to anyone who wants to use it. And since the government issues patents, they have a right to control license pricing to avoid said extortion. But there are no rich lobbyists to advocate such changes and the voters don't give a shit, so let's not get our hopes up yet.

Yeah, and you know... The film bein' faked and all, kinda like that other one that you all fell for a ways back. ACORN was it? Not that anything like that ever matters. You all want a republican like her. You all need a republican like her! And believe me, I know the feeling. (Who wants to vote for a democrat?) You're like those poor girls who say all the good ones are gay.

Yeah, and I also frequently bump the little problem of intentional misinterpretation by the listener for many various reasons that require the simplest thoughts take up the entire Library of Congress to explain to them. Most of the Tolstoy written around here is just people who like to pontificate and express a demeanor of superiority. It's all word masturbation. There is no need to overcomplicate things.
