There is a sucker born every .2997 seconds

"There's a sucker born every minute" is a phrase often credited to P. T. Barnum (1810–1891), an American showman. It is generally taken to mean that there will always be many gullible people in the world.

Based on the tidbit above, I did a calculation ..... it is estimated that there are 4.17 people born each second across the entire earth.  I estimate that 80% of them are suckers ...... members of the cow herd.  That leaves 10% who are determined to be slave masters and 10% who are determined to be IPPs and are determined to be free.

Thus   4.17 times 0.8 ==> 3.336 suckers born per second        this yields one sucker born every  0.2997 seconds

"Apple iPhone Patent a Huge Blow to Rival Smartphone Makers: Apple's newly awarded patent gives it ownership of the capacitive multitouch interface, spelling big trouble for rival smartphone makers, say patent experts." 

The snippet above demonstrates all that is wrong with the US patent system..... what is the purpose of the patent system ?  Who benefits ?   Who should benefit ?   think upon it..........

Another non-event involving America's royalty

Today Lord Obama gave a speech about his plans for Afghanistan.

I missed one of my favourite shows .... Judge Napolitano .... it was pre-empted by Fox to show off the babblings of Obama and then a bunch of questionable intellects analyzed the tripe that Obama had spewed.  Make no mistake..... Obama would not be the powerful idiot he is if former presidents had not paved the way.  One royal president stands on the shoulders of another.  ( It is turtles all the way down )

IOAs ( inhabitants of America ) are being royally screwed.  85% of the budget is off limits...... the Social Security ponzi scheme , the MIC ( military-industrial complex ) , Medicare, Medicaid, Medobama, Club Med .... whoops I guess not that one.

We are doomed to a slow crash and burn economically ...... unless the cow herd starts to take notice.  Fat chance of that.
