wishful thinking's always better than facing reality. At least in some worlds.

  Pessimists don't have a monopoly on reality, and society isn't obligated to limit itself to your low expectations just so that you can feel good about being right. Face the reality that the status quo is unsustainable. Throw off your wishful thinking that things can go on like this without repercussion.

    rather than me wasting even more time responding, why don't you go forth and pursue your all-encompassing patent solution, and report back on how it went?

      And so we circle back around to the character of the status quo, where powerful lobbying groups have made it untenable to do anything without just straight-up murking them first. I suppose your suggestion was right: it truly is "100% or nothing." I appreciate your endorsement for the campaign to completely wreck these people's livelihoods for the greater good of society. Hope to see you on the front lines.
