| Message | NKP, how is denying the people their INALIENABLE right to intellectual property rights going to develop the "right side" of their brain and creativity when that means that ANY bomb in the street can (legally) STEAL their mental creation (book, cd, invention, screenplay, etc.)??? On the contrary, we need to STRENGTHEN copyright protections and LOWER the price to obtain them to encourage more people to develop ideas to advance Likatonia in the next century. |

| Message | The CWFP does a lot of talking about 'inalienable rights' - and yet has consistently failed to prove a single 'right' to be 'inalienable'. This 'right' has aliens all over it. |
