I agree that we don't, and maybe never will have a reformed patent system due to the massive influence lobbyists have over our politicians. In fact, this is probably the core reason for almost every problem we have in public policy today.

I'd like to see more people talking about wanting reform of our political system and the influence money has on our politicians rather than have people wasting energy talking about the symptoms of the problem.

But alas, who will watch the watchmen?
