Beam Me Up!
I’ll admit to a certain bit of naivety. I blame it on my innate belief that given a choice people will choose to do good. Once in a while, I’m even right.
This whole business with Triskelion has hurt and disappointed a lot of people and before it is all over, I daresay it will do more. However, from the clouds comes rain and from time to time rain is welcome. RUMOR has it that RWA and the Author’s Guild are looking into ways to protect the clauses agreed to in contracts. If those organizations can do something that will truly be a step forward for the issue of intellectual property.
One can hope.
Until then, I think I’m in agreement with the bumper sticker that says, “Beam me up, Scottie. There’s no intelligent life here.” At least not where the law is concerned. I guess that’s why we have lawyers.
Until then, I’ll look for the little green men at the UFO Watchtower, and wear my seatbelt. As a bumper sticker says, “Buckle Up! It makes it harder for the aliens to suck you out of your car.”
