[Fsf-friends] Patents can Kill People

[Ankit Malik]

IMHO and AFAIK there won't be much use by spreading this word among
us, since we already know. Whom we have to tell is the GOVERNMENT  AND
THE 'IDIOTS' WHO WORK AT PARLIAMENT :( .

For this we need 
> mass demonstrations near Parliament and etc etc [am i taking it too far ???]
> general awareness [not just among the linux techies ;-)]
> speeches @ public forums [not just GNU forums]

> good treatment of RMS when he comes to deliver his goodies in India :(
