You are wasting your energy not responding, yet sending emails that represent
responses, which contain empty bullets.
Instead of trying to kill me, RESPOND TO ME.

No, many populations would take illiteracy as an insult. Yes - I am sure you
"like" illiterate Mexicans. And now you are playing "mindfuck" word games, for
we all "know" that Mexicans is a racial term and not a nationalist term in the
context that you used it. Wiggle.

Copyright is being extended by Commerce laws to protect not only expression but
knowledge - never the intention of copyright law. Extended protection of
knowledge is harmful. So either the current copyright period should be
shortened or copyright law modified.
