Patents are Jewish

Fuck a patent. Invent and document. Stay out of the jewish court system when your idea is stolen. Go threaten their life. Be a man.

Funny, without knowing who Mr. Kearns is, you wonder "why is every photo of this guy him standing behind a windshield with a wiper between him and the camera?
