David Miscavige says "With this brutal decision, not only is Wikipedia criminally attacking the world's most ethical people, members of the Scientology religion, but it is preventing Scientologists from presenting our religion in the most positive and truthful light."

With this brutal decision (I woke up this morning and found myself unable to write about how I debated the Dalai Lama to a standstill at the age of 12) not only is Wikipedia criminally attacking (we are so going to sue you non-profit Wikipidea) the world's most ethical people, members of the Scientology religion, (hyperbole is something that happens to other people) but it is preventing Scientologists from presenting our religion in the most positive and truthful light. (I admit we do put propaganda on wikipedia but I really thought that was what it was for I mean look at all the good press that Obama fellow gets on Wikipedia)

I thought that to issue a patent the thing being patented had to be something or at least a new way of doing things. Now if there is already in public use by many different people this way of accomplishing this specific idea then in theory no one should be able to patent it at all as it is now part of the gestalt knowledge of society.
