I was checking for any updates for the flight simulator that I hope to have a TLK flight demo group here with. So I came across this (I hope you guys can see this):

What happened is that patent trolls in America sue anyone and everyone on just about everything. They rarely win, but they hardly ever have to go to court. Because they sure many small businesses, it's more cost effective to go near-bankrupt to settle out of court than to defend yourself for an instant-win case. Just the court process takes too much time.

Long story short, these patent trolls are costing the economy billions of dollars each year, plus another countless billions (and perhaps lives saved as well) due to the killed innovation from bankrupt businesses.

So I urge everyone, especially if you live here in the US, to exercise our rights as citizens of the United States and stop these patent trolls from hurting our nation and our lives by signing this petition. It will force these patent trolls to pay all bills should they lose in court. Considering what they sue on, they will lose 99.99% of the time. So stop patent trolls.

After all, isn't trolling against MLK rules? ;)

You use the word "right" alot my friend, and I don't think you know what it means. A "right" is something that cannot be taken away by any force and the U.S could care less about signatures. What the government wants is soldiers, slaves and corporations coming out on top. How do they do that? By oppressing small business owners with "patent trolls". It's a corporate strategy if anything else...
