Adrian, are you talking about the case where the farmer was making his own seeds / strains of tomatoes? I thought that was one of the most ridiculous things I'd ever heard. It essentially comes down to making every one of us who's ever pollinated any of our terrarium plants and traded seeds by mail into lawbreakers. That's Keynesian conglomerate capitalism for you...
"The act of simply existing has been made illegal. If you're not making money for some corporation then you must be stealing it from some corporation. Give us enough time and we'll figure out how you're doing it." Mr. Bickford said, smiling as he set the phone down and leaned back in his brown leather chair. Turning to look out his Big Picture window and scanning the horizon he looked as if he was thinking of new ways to drive a bulldozer through the ghettos, and probably about who he wanted to get to drive that bulldozer. I thought to myself - I'm getting outta here me!
Someone said earlier there is two constitutions, that's not official but that's how it seems to work. There's the constitution (the icon) and then there's the way the country is actually run. Of course if the constitution was followed to the letter Obama would be picking cotton and not president... so even the original is flawed. I have no problem with a complete and modern rewrite as long as all citizens of the country are allowed to read & vote on it. So what if it takes 10-20 years to do it.
