Thank You Mark from the bottom of my heart,
You Have inspired me.Please Read
DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD?
Imagine waking up one morning with the only one goal, and that goal is do anything possible to get enough money to feed yourself and buy blood pressure medicine so you won’t have a stroke and make things worse. I would say that this is the average goal of every older citizen of these United States of America. What a crock of poo. You Republicans and you Democrats with your high and mighty political connections to the rich and famous will burn in Hell for casting us older Citizens away to die. You guys are going to at least hear from me. I am Bill D. Lavoie and I am the Inventor of U.S. Patent 5077788 System and method for processing telephone communication – US . Before you guys just turn to the next page and pass me by, listen very carefully. In 1979 I developed an Idea to put personal computers and telephone systems together so we could communicate with each other. I actually made a working model out of a 2 commodore 64 computers and designed a modem that I could wire the phone line and phone into and process digital voice and data through the telephone system. In brief I had a working design of the very thing I’m using today to send this information out, “in 1979“. But alas, I was ridiculed, scorned, and made to believe that I was living in a fantasy world. I tucked my tale and tried to come up with something useful to society. In 1985 I came up with a way to change 911 into E911 and make the phone company process the digital signals from a desk top computer from “Best Buy”, making it affordable for small communities to purchase and implement Enhanced 911. 1989 I applied for a Patent. The original “Best Buy” Computer and all of it’s components, software included, which I wrote and it turns out was the first windowed based operating program EVER and I called it Window Frames. In other words you could say my patent open the door wide open for the internet age as we see it today” and YES this is exactly what I intended. Now, this is where you political active “World Savers” need to step up and make the big World Change, just like you promised you would do. Shortly after I demonstrated this in Houston, Texas in 1990, to a large group of High ranking ATT, ITT, Bell Companies, Texas county officials, I was called away to do work else where. I was pushed aside and told they would call me if anything came of it. I ended up in a coma and lost all my mental and physical abilities for many, many years. I did not even know about it until about 2 months ago when Mark Cuban Started writing on his Mavericks Blog about great Inventors who changed the world with their Intellectual Property Patents “Had to look that one up” and did not get their just rewards out of it. I challenge you Politically active people to not take my word for it. LOOK IT U, It is real Easy, just Google my Name, Bill D. Lavoie and you will find with ease 51 other inventors that have patents that they had to reference my Patent to make their patent work. Other Published Inventors say that every one of these guys should have paid me royalties, but the US Patent office could not get in touch with me…..Really!!!! The IRS, bill collectors, law enforcement, and The Attorney General Of Texas ”Child Support” NEVER HAD a problem finding me. Mark Cuban did not know what he started down deep in my soul and sprit. The only way you Politically Active persons can keep me quite now is to KILL ME. NOW Here is where YOU CAN DO SOMETHING. If you find that I did have a revolutionary Idea. I have A HOLY CRAP Method that WILL fix everything and all of our Energy and Pollution problems. If we could convince the Public and Political majority to except a federal mandate to make Bio Diesel the only fuel expectable by 2011 and price cap it at 3.50 a gallon, we as Americans and Industrialist would be out of Debt in no time at all. The BY Product of this would feed the world. I also Have a design to build your home and make it pay for itself in 10 years no mater how big or small you build it, by selling power back to the LARGE POWER GRIDS. THESE 2 Ideas WILL work and not cost a fortune. ALL YOU HAVE to do is CALL ME and I will show you step by step how to implement this. BUT I AM Sure as I am sitting here looking at the PAST you will
ridicule, scorn, and believe that I am living in a fantasy world. I have already heard this from family, so called friends, ex wives and girl friends, even though I can make a working model on both of these. I GURANTEE THIS TIME If someone wakes UP and decides to make money out of one of these Ideas I WILL GET MY PART THIS TIME.

PS FCC Mandated My Method of Processing as the Standard to Process an E911 Call in September 1991. LOOK IT UP.

Quite simply put, complicated laws and regulations promote job growth in the accounting, legal, consulting and government sectors.

I wonder why the government likes to make things complicated? I mean really, what’s in it for them?

If a company of less than 20 employees is not supposed to borrow money, how do they get operating cash in the first few years?

@ sugarmtnfarm

Here’s a little “reasonable” logic for you ..

1) Ayn Rand espoused the theories at the heart of Libertarian / Republican Party ideology (and, the Tea Baggers, btw). The gist of that theory “…is that the government keeps creating bureaucracies through legislation and regulation, in the process destroying private enterprise.” Ms. Rand’s philosophy. Your words, her ideas.

2) Alan Greenspan was not only a close friend and confidante of Ms. Rand, he was the foremost authority and proponent of her philosophy. This lead him to incorporate those ideas into his guidance during his tenure at the Fed that resulted in the financial collapse of 2008 .

3) Mr. Greenspan, in testimony before Congress in 2008 stated, “I made a mistake in presuming that the self-interest of organizations, specifically banks and others, was such that they were best capable of protecting their own shareholders.”

Now, you assert your conclusion is reasonable, so ..

rea·son·able – being in accordance with reason ,

and,

rea·son – the power of comprehending, inferring, or thinking especially in orderly rational ways

I don’t know how they define “reasonable” or “rational” in Vermont, but I doubt it includes adhering to a discredited theory that has been disavowed by its leading proponent.

Please, wow me with some more baseless, stoic commentary on reasonable ideas you just dreamed up on the farm.

I’m neither a Democrat nor a Republican nor do I watch FoxNews. You make too much in the way of assumptions. Add three more strikes to your batting average. And no, I’m not a baseball fan either just to clear that one up before you go off tangent again.

Actually, you’re wrong. I’ve never ready anything by either of them. I simply came to the same reasonable conclusions independently. That makes twice you’re wrong. At least.

@sugarmtnfarm,

One more thing. Let’s remove this from the “opinion” category for just a minute. Here are some facts:

Average annual job gain over the last 100 years under Republican presidents – .57%

Average annual job gain over the last 100 years under Democrat presidents – 3.24%

Again, the entire concept of sound Republican economic theory is a myth. Explain whatever way you want, it simply doesn’t alter the facts on the ground.

I’ll restate it, regulation is always done in response to various corporate transgressions. You need to get your history from something other than Fox News.

@sugarmtnfarm

True, but your view is based on a discredited theory of government regulation espoused by Ayn Rand, and now abandoned by her biggest supporter, Alan Greenspan. Fooled once, shame on you, fooled twice, shame on me.
