I don't disagree. And after reading the SCOTUS opinions, I think their reasoning was sound. Still disappointing in some sense, but it does read like the right decision.

Time to petition congress. It does feel like we're near an inflection point.

Sigh. I know...

I just think that Congress needs to be reeducated about the different needs of today's technology industry versus the old-days of steel mills. It won't be easy, but I'm confident it will happen someday.

The question is whether I'll be alive then (heh).
