Because she and the lemmings running this country into the ground demand 100% blind loyalty, and anybody who points out that the emperor ain't wearing nothing is immediately labelled a traitor. Without blind, unthinking allegiance, they are powerless. Eric Lucas

You will label anything you don't like with any pejorative label you can come up with, just so you don't have to deal with it. Nice. Eric Lucas

Learn something about patents before you post about them. > In actual fact you don't even need to prove that >> it works anymore. The US patent office no longer requires a working >> model or any such solid physical proof. Well, at least in chemistry, where working models are a bit problematic, they're essentially always disclosed in the form of Examples. The purpose of patents is to both disclose information and protect inventions. If the Examiner deems that a patent doesn't disclose enough information, he won't allow it to be granted. At least that's how it works in the US. I suspect other countries are similar, but I'm sure there are differences. Eric Lucas

Chemicals are funny that way. Nice strawman...nobody ever said that *all* new drugs are just knock-offs of old ones. But a substantial number are. Eric Lucas |
