Reminds me of a philosophical question:
If a lawsuit is filed and no one's around, does anyone care?
EDIT: Joke edited so it now actually makes sense.

Somebody actually sued eBay for the "Buy it Now" option? WTF?!~Jason
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Which sounds better?
"Buy now", or "Maximum firepower"?
