        Not always, if the headline is “How do we stop (insert capitalism-caused problem)?” Then the answer is revolution.

          I was thinking more in regards to questions of “why is [bad thing] allowed to be [bad in this manner]?”

          But you’re right.

    Legally? Naw it won’t hold up in court.

    George Lucas doesn’t have the right to come into my house and smash my VHS copies of the original trilogy pre-special edition.
