Has someone dictated/mandated/legislated that you use saw stopping

IIRC, the inventor was lobbying for just such legislation.

Plus, he wanted so much in royalties and licensing that ALL of the
manufacturers told him to shove it up his ass. I believe it was after
that happened that he chose to force the issue, to pursue mandatory
use via lobbying. What a jerk.

Making things up Larry? Wher exactly did you read that the manufacturers
"told him to shove it up his ass".

That's my ad-libbed statement for "Each and every one of the
manufacturers decided against accepting any offers of buying licensing
or paying royalties to him." If you ask the reps for those companies,
I'd be willing to bet that they'd have thought those thoughts, whether
or not they actually told him off in those precise words.


And peronally I thought the royalties
were perfectly in line. So your point of view is simply that. But
resorting to make up what actually went down to suit your own slant is
pretty rediculious. You are working yourself into a bigger lather the more
you make things up.

Enhanced, sir. Nothing was made up.


If he thought it was so important to life and limb, why didn't he just
donate the idea to humanity, hmm? (HINT: greed and altruism are
mutually exclusive.)

Still buying gasoline and insurance from the greedy?

What part of "when at all possible" did you not understand, dude?
