Forget Social Security, privatize the clouds!

Crazy Russians!

"A Russian lawyer made his contribution to helping the environment when he announced his privatization of all the clouds in the sky this week.

'As derelict natural resources originating on Earth, not belonging at this point to any government or person, are my property,' he declared in the document, which he is sending out to the governments of 150 countries."

This is just funny:

'But while privatization is often associated in Russia with shady schemes to make off with as much as possible before the next strongman takes it away from you, Osipov has privatized the clouds with more noble intentions. He will use his property rights to sue anybody who pollutes the atmosphere.'
