I would encourage anyone interested in this subject to go see the movie 
"Tucker".  In his closing argument at his trial, Tucker makes an impassioned 
plea for free enterprise, stating that if big companies keep shutting down the 
little guy, we'll soon be buying our cars from Japan.  Everyone in the 
courtroom laughed; everyone in the audience laughed uneasily.

Watching this ARC (oops, please don't sue me!) non-sense, and then watching 
"Tucker", has convinced me that soon the only innovation that will remain in 
America will be in the courtroom, while we buy our software and computers (as 
well as cars, radios, etc.) from Japan.

Better make sure your kids get into law school!
