Atlas Shrugged: Violence Vouchers<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\nCobra Commander:<\/b> \u201cWell, your plan doesn\u2019t make any sense and is severely lacking in snake themed accessories but I guess you at least know what you\u2019re doing with it. I mean if both you and the heroes are on board with destroying the world I suppose it\u2019s going to end up destroyed.\u201d
\nMouch:<\/b> \u201cActually\u2026 there\u2019s a flaw in the plan.\u201d
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> \u201cOh? A flaw other than that you\u2019re planning to destroy the world for no gain for any parties involved?\u201d
\nMouch:<\/b> \u201cYes\u2026 patent law.\u201d
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> \u201cPatent law.\u201d
\nMouch:<\/b> \u201cYup.\u201d
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> \u201cCan\u2026 look, I\u2019m going to just level with you here I need an explanation on this one.\u201d
\nMouch:<\/b> \u201cOh it\u2019s simple really. We need to revoke all patents immediately.\u201d
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> \u201cWhy? I mean you explained your plan to me and you\u2019re already going to freeze wages, freeze purchasing and sales levels, force people to work in the jobs you tell them to work in and order industries to build exactly what and how much of that what you tell them to which is all whatever they are currently making because you\u2019re closing the patent office and no one can make anything new. Why do you need the existing patents?\u201d
\nMouch:<\/b> \u201cThe patents are integral to the plan!\u201d
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> \u201cFine! Okay so if they\u2019re so integral just revoke them!\u201d
\nMouch:<\/b> \u201cOh no we can\u2019t\u2026 the law isn\u2019t on our side.\u201d
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> \u201cThe law that you can freely rewrite because you control the government.\u201d
\nMouch:<\/b> \u201cYes. If we overstep our authority on patent law the common people will be rioting in the streets.\u201d
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> \u201cThe common people who you are shackling to a life of abject miserable slavery.\u201d
\nMouch:<\/b> \u201cWell, slavery is one thing, but patents! Patents could lead to a revolution!\u201d
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> \u201cHow?\u201d
\nMouch:<\/b> \u201cWell, the heroes care about patents. And if they challenge us on the patents they\u2019re so super smart and capable we\u2019ll lose immediately.\u201d
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> \u201cBut not if the heroes challenge you on the slavery thing? Is it because the heroes don\u2019t care about slavery or because the law lets you make people into slaves?\u201d
\nMouch:<\/b> \u201cI\u2019m going to say\u2026 both? I\u2019m not sure, that part of the plan isn\u2019t important. The patents, man! Focus on the patents!\u201d
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> \u201cBut the common people don\u2019t care about patents! I\u2019ve never once thought of an evil plan focusing on patent law!\u201d
\nMouch:<\/b> \u201cOf course the common people don\u2019t care. They\u2019re all idiots just like us. But if the heroes fight us over patent law then they can get the common man on their side. The common man is perfectly fine with losing all of his freedom and free will, but if he finds out an industry leader lost a patent he will fight us to the death!\u201d
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> \u201cAlright, I\u2019m just going to go ahead and file this one under \u2018Sure.\u2019 I mean, I don\u2019t know what you are talking about but for the sake of my own sanity, let\u2019s just move on.\u201d
\nMouch:<\/b> \u201cOh it\u2019s fine, we have a plan.\u201d
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> \u201cBecause all your plans are so brilliant.\u201d
\nMouch:<\/b> \u201cWell this one is. We\u2019re going to blackmail a guy who has one patent.\u201d
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> \u201cWhat about the rest of the patents? I mean last I checked when I was submitting a patent for a straight jacket made of snakes there were a lot of patents.\u201d
\nMouch:<\/b> \u201cYeah but no, we don\u2019t have to worry about those other ones because of reasons. There\u2019s just one patent we have to worry about because the guy who owns it is a super amazingly great hero. He already made us look stupid in court once by using the heroes greatest weapon against us.\u201d
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> \u201cBlue lasers?\u201d
\nMouch:<\/b> \u201cNo, long winded speeches.\u201d
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> \u201c\u2026\u201d
\nMouch:<\/b> \u201cReally long ones. Obscenely long ones.\u201d
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> \u201cLook I\u2019ve been defeated by a lot of stuff over the years but even I\u2019ve never had a plan fail because of some guy talking for a long time!\u201d
\nMouch:<\/b> \u201cBut\u2026\u201d
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> \u201cNo! It\u2019s time for a real villain to take over! I\u2019m going to go and get some anaconda shaped rockets and blow you and all your stupid friends up and take over this world run by incompetents!\u201d *storms out*
\nMouch:<\/b> \u201cPhew\u2026 I was worried for a minute there he was going to make a speech.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
