Social Security

A duh-weebish Administration within the U.S. government that is so incoherently ran that if NASA operated the way they do, ALL their shuttles would explode.

NASA may kill off 7 people now and then, but the Social Security Administration probably kills off 7 people every day.

Define me:

A feature of the UrbanDictionary.com home page that never updates, resulting in hordes of new definitions for terms that are already more than sufficiently defined, and no definitions at all for terms people want defined.

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.
