Hi Bleujay,

I am not one to debate or discuss religion. I respect everyone’s right to practice their faith and I am not against anyone who is a better person as a result of their faith. But – this is not a discussion about religion so I respectfully rather leave your God and everybody’s God out of this topic.

I am showing that you that same ideology and rhetoric in your premise is being used on the American public by the United States gov’t to take away creation in the private sector.

You presented the logic of “bleujay can be given anything Fordmogul has in his possession or has created, etc." in your first comment by saying that “If the premise is that a country invented a thing...then does it stand to reason that they would maintain control of it."

I do not believe nations are ‘entitled’ and have a stake in everything that an individual creates. I view that logic as socialism or communism because it removes individuality.

Yes, nations/gov’ts do have a right to protect the creators that are a part of the nation but they do not have ownership stakes in what an individual creates in their own ‘privacy’ in a ‘free country’.

A nation or individual cannot claim that they are using their ‘right to protect a creation that has origin in their nation’ to restrict a private and free individual who has created. You are correct, with that logic – you could be given anything Fordmogul has in their possession or has created.

^ that is what I am and the founding principles of the United States are against.

Nations/gov’ts only have a right to protect what is created in the PUBLIC sector and not what is created in the PRIVITE sector. Nations/gov’ts do not have an ownership stake in a creation simply because a creation becomes widely adopted and used by the masses. Only in instances where literally national security is at risk, should a private creation be restricted as if the creation was created in the public sector.

Dicintonary.com defines the word 'entity' as a “being or existence, especially when considered as distinct, independent, or self-contained.”

So by definition a nation is an entity because it is largely independent, distinct and 'self-contained'. However, nations/gov’ts do not create anything – the humans that are apart of nations/gov’ts are what create and produce for nations. It is simple, no people, no nation, no creation or production. You show me a nation that exist and is producing GDP, products, exporting and importing goods and performing basic human-society functions/tasks without humans.
