An idea worth spreading

Filmmakers should have the capability of adding captions and updates to their documentaries with twitter like simplicity. The filmakers could pull, or not, from a user driven platform resembling sound cloud. Users could add comments at any time slot which could open a new forum. This sound cloud like program could overlay the user's own copy of the film, if/when copyright becomes an issue. ... Huge potential for added profit/views for filmakers, nonprofit, and for profit causes. I do ask that if this hasn't already been tied up in patents, that it not be. ... here is another idea, please do a ted talk on poor man patents and how to quickly move something into public hands.... because this is ridiculous. ..

  A reply on Conversation: Has the time come for the U.S Second Amendment to be repealed or amended?

  Jan 16 2013: It could. My reason for not wanting any new ban, comes from my position during the build up to the Iraq war. I have seen first hand the power of the masses. They can be swept up in a frenzy. Both cons and dems do it, I'm just amazed how the "left" seems to have forgot such a recent example. I do understand it actually, they were part of the majority that was for the war and never recognized how it came to be. I don't mean to break it into party lines, this was as clear as I can state my thoughts.
