First, you aspire to be the Dictator of the USA, then
you advertise that you are going to summarily execute
people.
They send people like you to Guantamo!

If you are dictator for life, you need not shoot anyone. Just scrap patent law.

| I dunno, I've been thinking about this.
I'm no fan of software patents, but
the original purpose of patents in general was to protect the small inventor.
You discover something working in your garage/lab/back yard and for a (then)
nominal fee you can be assured that a) you'll get credit, and b) some big
company can't just steal your idea and make tons of money off it because they
already have backing and infrastructure and it's your word against
theirs.
What went wrong was that the cost of litigation has skyrocketed.
You can be right as rain but not be able to afford to present that argument to
anybody. The big companies just need to threaten to challenge your patent and
you may not be able to defend it. Worse, a big company with a patent can
threaten to use it to make you back away from an idea you have simply because
you don't have the resources to say "no you don't; this is different."
I
applaud the idea of not having big companies run roughshod over the little guy,
but somewhere along the line they managed to do that anyway. Is the "little
guy" a myth these days, and all we should worry about is getting behemoths to
turn their dollars in a more functional direction? Would shooting all the patent
attorneys really fix the problem, or just provide some instant gratification? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

You would line all of the patent attorneys up against
the wall and give them a bonus. No fooling.
When an individual or a group of like thinkers believe
they run the world, they definitely would want
to reward others that stupidly help them maintain control.

The problem is that the political system in the United States is suffering
from a case of regulatory capture, and until you fix that, you can't fix
anything else.
