Submission + - Sweidsh Prosecutors Offer to Interview Assange in London (bbc.com) 1

The people who invented patents are the problem. We need to get rid of them. Join the cult to build a doomsday machine with open source hardware and eradicate all humans. When it's done, so are they!

I'd aim at eradicating all life. It is not a huge step for some slime to evolve into patent lawyers.
