  That suggests that maybe it shouldn't be a crime. Or should be regulated, taxed, licensed and with health checks. Eliminate street walkers offering this service.
  
  Not according to the Gun Debate logic... the reasonable action would be to outlaw marriage.

  So basically your point is you're on board with pissing away the rights of the rest of us just as long as it's the ones you don't use?
  
  I'm gonna go ahead and try to keep ahold of all of them even if it means I keep having to hear about a couple of crap punk bands no one's ever heard of or likely cares about.

  on A Couple Videos About Our Crazy Patent System
  Gosh, that's a great point since teams are never made up of natural persons.
  
  More importantly, even if they were there's no way you could assign a patent to multiple names. (I mean, for heaven's sake there's only one small section on the form)

  The only way Leslie could of gotten out of this was to somehow prove that Augstein never knew about the reward in the first place.
