| American companies at the moment are getting away with patenting things that have been in general use for years and getting away with it. It seems that you do not have to have invented anything to get a patent granted yo just need to be the first to apply! look at this one... http://appft1.uspto.gov... |

| I actually believe in intelligent design, but do not think it is the same as creation. I do not believe in god and Adam 'n' Eve etc.. but do think that somehow our DNA is pre-programmed rather then darwin's theory that the only reason why i am sitting here typing is because of a billion coincidences... |

I 'opted out' last month and no-one has asked to check my car, but i think you are right, if i had an incident while driving on business i would think my employer could be held liable.
I would think it would be easy to force me to have taco fitted to keep the right to use my own car. |
