Story: EC pushes on with patent directive

The comission is just a bunch of lobbyist, not democratically elected - actually thought to be the gofer for the parliament. The sorry state of the european union is just that: the commission now holds all the power whereas the parliament is just there to give it some democratic credibility by signing it.
The Big Business that can afford the lobbyists to pay for the laws they want, get the laws they want.
This whole delay about software patents is only annoying, but in the end they will have their way.
What else? Does anybody really think we are _actually_ living in a democracy? Come on!
...But at least we get to decide every few years whether we are being fucked over by Coca Cola or if it's Pepsi this time ... that's something, I guess...
