The crocodile tears of this article are just disgusting. "Wall Street throwing its weight around" against the biggest entity that is demonstrably more parasitic and demonstrably more unproductive of jobs or well-being for average American; the greasy, blood fattened lamprey's of the intellectual property mafia.

Even as this stands, if it passes, I suspect it will be a very good thing - the thin-edge of a wedge. A situation where "no patent is safe" should inspire ... fewer patents.
