as a citizen of ireland and america i can easily outsource myself to 2
out of 7 continents (and apparently australia's not that hard either),
i'm curious what shallow sound-bite mr. mccreevy would explain my opinion
that s/w patents should not be allowed.

and i'm sure anti-globalisation protesters oppose s/w patents.
from the tv i see they also support the idea of wearing clothes.
following mccreevy's logic i assume he supports mandatory public nudity?

grumble, grumble, grumble...

  Those who refuse to raise their voices against something as clearly evil
  as torture are enablers, if not collaborators.  --Bob Herbert, 2/11/04
