I'm Pushing For Citizen Equality Not Because

Copyrights Have Not Expired, And Will Not Expire, So Long As Congress Is Free To Be Bought To Extend Them Again.

I Don't Support Direct Democracy Because I Want A Life, And That Means I Want To Select People Who Work For Me Who Do That Sort Of Work For Me.

We Live In A World With "free" Content, And This Freedom Is Not An Imperfection. We Listen To The Radio Without Paying For The Songs We Hear; We Hear Friends Humming Tunes That They Have Not Licensed. We Tell Jokes That Reference Movie Plots Without The Permission Of The Directors. We Read Our Children Books, Borrowed From A Library, Without Paying The Original Copyright Holder For The Performance Rights.

By The Time Apple's Macintosh Operating System Finally Falls Into The Public Domain, There Will Be No Machine That Could Possibly Run It. The Term Of Copyright For Software Is Effectively Unlimited.

If Zero Percent Of The Elites Support Something, Very Low Chance It's Going To Pass, If 100% Support Something, Very High Chance It's Going To Pass. Same Thing For Organized Interest Groups. But For The Average Voter, It's A Flat Line. Which Says It Doesn't Matter Whether Zero Percent Of The Public Believes Something Or 100% Of The Average Voters Believe Something - It Doesn't Affect The Probability That That Thing Will Be Enacted.
