The proper role and scope of government

[henry quirk]

"the law is not fair"

I never said it was, nor did I hint that it was, or that I though it should be.

The Law (and law makers/enforcers) is an ass (and it [and they] should be treated as any surly beast of burden, with a sturdy stick).

"If that patented gene exists in your body, then company A can demand royalty payments."

If that gene exists in 'my' body (and I didn't contract to it being there) then good luck, company A, in collecting (my point here: the Law is not to obeyed simply because it 'is' Law).
