biopiracy

The inhumanely arrogant practice of patenting naturally occurring substances and organisms, and those developed long ago by other people - making customary practices such as growing crops and conceiving babies patent violations.

Patenting human genes is an act of biopiracy that makes it impossible for Australian Aborigines and African bush people to have babies without violating those patents.

In the year 2000, the Indian government found it necessary to file 50,000 pages of scientific evidence against a 1997 American biopiracy patent on Basmati rice.

CB

Citizens Band radio; state of the art in communications circa 1960, and all the rage in 1976 after the release of technological advances and the song Convoy. Popularity inspired further advances and lower prices, increasing popularity further.

CB remained the primary mode of mobile communications until cell phones became popular, and remains so in locations where cellular coverage is not available, among some truckers, rednecks, and power-tripping cottonpickers with linears.

Other monikers include, squawk box, radidio, on the line, ears, modjuputer, two-way, talk box, and toy phone.

Some bible-mouths still expect you to speak a dialect of slang called slanguage when using CB.
