The less clueless would value this as a sign of the times and remodule their marketing and pricing strategy accoordingly. Elas, there are still big hot shots sitting in high towers actually believing what's given to them on paper and thus they keep on shouting 'loss of legal revenue' and others passing down laws and allocating government resources trying to make that dream a reality. In the end, when even the most absurd lines have been crossed and finally voters will take notice and act accoordingly, those same big hot shots sitting in their ivory towers will lean back and wonder: if only they would have informed us in full in time. Before cleaning out their desk. Shame, shame, shame. Too late, reality is and always has been that being clueless comes with a price. You can only milk cows until they die. And once dead they're not likely to return to be milked again.

So, hot shots, do press on. History will remember you for who you really are. Does commercial or political suicide ring any bells?

Oh right, nowedays calling things by their name is translated into some form of criminal behaviour. Wow, see if I care. Thing is that my upbringing doesn't allow me to bow my head to stupidity.
