We would be none too surprised if GPs around the country are somewhat outraged by the representation of the profession."Neil Wilkofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200865773480720037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-86827527612562444222019-03-14T04:22:36.371+00:002019-03-14T04:22:36.371+00:00We had a similar discussion on Indian (Hindi) film...We had a similar discussion on Indian (Hindi) films and patents, here:<br />https://spicyip.com/2008/03/bollywood-and-patents-hookers-narrative.htmlGenericIPguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11496346005259927408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-86315020618506065432019-03-12T11:07:59.235+00:002019-03-12T11:07:59.235+00:00I would say it fair and not at all mean to express...I would say it fair and not at all mean to express one's opinion in a free society. More importantly, I think you re-affirmed the preceding post's central point, Piggy, which appears to be enjoy life and don't get bogged down in the technicality of things because technicality usually ruins imagination.

To take an example from my field --- physics --- warp drives and their ilk are generally ok in sci-fi. What is not ok is to learn that someone's soul remains floating around in some sci-fi ether because of the "conservation of energy".Piggy WIlliamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-69630685327113531812019-03-11T13:46:39.444+00:002019-03-11T13:46:39.444+00:00When I hosted him as a speaker for an event held i...When I hosted him as a speaker for an event held in the VIP suite of a cinema complex, retired blogmeister Professor Jeremy Phillips recommended that we screen the film "The Man in The White Suit" as an example of a patent related film.
