From the information given and in the absence of more vowels I would say yes XXX can stand on that platform because it seems their sole purpose for doing so would be to avoid being reamed in a court of law, which shows an awareness of potential enemies, which is not to be discounted, but to answer the specific question can they do it without being paradoxical, no, certainly not, but few of us, or more precisely, none, of us get through a day without being that. Sorry to hear of your oncoming illness, medicate thoroughly and call no one for three days.
i dont know. i agree they are trying to protect themselves somehow in the real world but can they possibly be taken seriously that they want all property rights abolished if in the same document they assert control over a piece of intellectual property, even if they are generous in its usage? its still saying, this is mine but you can borrow it w/o asking as long as you dont break it. that is a far cry from saying, this belongs to noone, use it as you will. like the shrub says, im all for enlightened dictators as long as im the dictator.
Well, first, the XXX ideology is not one I agree with. I like owning the few things I own, no apologies. And now my curiosity demands that I move to the next level and ask, who is this XXX?
well, thats why it annoys me so. if you are going to spout such an extreme position at least you could do your best to live within that ideology. that an inconsistency is so apparent doesnt bode well for the rationality espoused. a person who holds that property should be abolished should not be concerned with protecting their property rights even if you apply jims twisted logic that they are ultimately freeing the words by controlling them.
ill tell you about xxx if you give me your email address.
