We live in a world were you can call the police on your spouse and they can get arrested. If you get caught stealing in a store you go to jail. If someone robs a bank, they go to jail. But if someone steals your dreams...... it takes a long time for anything to be done about it.
Let's say that many years ago you were sitting around with your friends talking about what would make life easier. You all take turns going around stating, " they should come up with this that and the others". Many of us have had and will have this kind of conversation.
In doing this a few of the many has actually took it to the next level and got a patent rather it be yours or something one of your friends ideas that you literally stole from them because they weren't thinking outside the box or was thinking outside the box without knowing. This just goes to show how we all know what needs to be done but can't because we don't want to out of fear of failure or we are waiting for someone else to do it.
I once sold drugs many years ago. I went to prison to pay my debt to society, or should I say that's what they call it. I don't think like society thinks. You see prison makes you absent from society giving it a break from me for a while or from you or a loved one.
I choose to pay my debt to society after I got out of prison by being active in my in my community. Giving speeches in school settings. Managing a furniture bank for low income families ( actually staying well past my regular hours to get us caught up which I didn't get overtime for because it was through Americorps and I was a volunteer getting a living expense which was fine by me but my boss wasn't happy because he had to stay as long as I was out, what was he gonna do fire me!
That's another story!) I did all these things and will do more because I love it, it is me. Of course it wasn't much money in it.... but it got me high on life! I love to help when I can. Since I got in so deep and have all these good ideas. Since Our lovely president is cutting back on programs like Americorps, what is it to do? I searched my soul long and hard to the point of tears.
How can a man helping his girlfriend at the time fund a program that might die soon because of lack of funding. Let's say I get an idea for fireplace statues that are energy efficient in hopes that it makes millions. Everyone I know says it's a good idea after I explain it's inner workings. Someone I barely know invest 6,000 dollars just for 10 percent, I told them 20 percent just for being a friend and believing in it.
I got high hopes then and now that my idea of opening up centers of hope in my community are drawing close. This all took place between march and November of 2002 ( meaning the patent idea aspect of it) So I did a bit of research and decided to go with invention submission a.k.a inventhelp a.k.a intromark.
They are being investigated by the federal trade commission for stealing peoples ideas a.k.a lives a.k.a dreams. How come it's not on the news. How come we see O.J. Simpson on trial and those kids from down south being locked up on t.v. but those guys in suit are not in handcuffs. That inspiring fire I have is being delayed by some high profile thieves and no one is putting them in hand cuffs.... yet.
That is just one of my many ideas so I'm gonna call that bait! I want who ever reads this to do something, Write to Oprah, tell your rich father to do something if your spoiled, respond to me on here. Regardless what you do, think of life as you know. Then think about what your doing about it. Got any ideas?
