Hate to burst your bubble, but unless you are an elector for your state, you
do NOT have the *right* to vote,  according to the constitution.  We are 
republic, not a democracy.  Most states didn't have a popular vote until
much later, but it is still a state's right that has been granted.  As for
intellectual property: if you take my idea and improve it before I do, then
that's the breaks.  If you disassemble my code and include it in yours, then
you should get sued.

I post at home, so no caveats necessary.  (Plus, if I mentioned my employer I'd
get hassled ;-)
