The internet has every field of law in full retreat. IP law may be the one exception according to UAZ College of Law. It's impossible for any priesthood to exist when anyone can research everything he needs to know in seconds. John Edwards may represent the decadence of the profession. The uproar over the recent Supreme Court decision is an example of the past baggage of the elitists. What's the very worst that can happen? You have to click off 101 pop up boxes a day instead of 100? That's somehow going to threaten democracy? Bret Cahill

Abstract art? Most of the $ may be going to propagandists to dumb down, rip off and exclude the public from the public debate, i.e., Maslow's Pyramid. That's why you see so many "liberal" editors saying, "can't figure out how I make so much money never figuring anything out." Anyone who says that is an outright fraud. No one ever suggested all these IP people were good for the economy, just that they made lots of $. Their lies by omission and the lies by hype all fall under IP and probably cost the economy trillions a year and unmeasurable quantities of useful IP. > Those places sure aren't doing serious > electronics, aviation, industrial, or even software design.

It's easy do get an idea where the origin of patents. Just research enough numbers until you are satisfied with the sample size. Is there a list somewhere of the $ generated for every patent? That would be a really useful project. Bret Cahill

Like all futures traders they are all hoping for some disaster that will wipe out the competition and limit supply. A crop adjuster in Florida explained why he has job security. "Farmers won't plant without crop insurance." Since each field creates it's own eco system bugs from cotten end up in lettuce, GM crops pollinate non GM, etc. It's hard to coordinate local farmers on these issues. Right now no one back east wants to drive to the store to buy lettuce for a cold salad so lettuce prices should plunge or the lettuce will just get plowed under. Most industries aren't like this.

You said 4 cities. You named 4. You can't remember one. Strange math. |
