Of course it' s not my business. But think about it just a minute as a
conscious man. Any big corporation has much more resources than you
could possibly have. They will skin you alive. Didn't your father told
you to never, ever argue with their lawyers? If you wish to make the
world better, then make a charity or something. But not destroy your
life and the life of your relatives, it won't make the world any
better.
