"And the first two don't count."

Why shouldn't my first two guesses count? They are my best ones.

"We can easily let the litigious cancer replace hard work, and entitlement overcome achievement."

Ed, I'm going to have to rely upon you to take care of the "litigious cancer". I need you to watch for it, hound it, dog it, chase it to it's, hopefully, early grave. I think you are entitled to do that.

"The over protection of intellectual property can lead to inormation restriction and stifle innovative thinking."

I'm also going to have to rely upon you to not protect any intellectual property you may have, which might lead to your "innovative thinking" being stifled. I've wondered what has stifled your "innovative thinking", and I had no idea it was some intellectual property which was being protected.

I thought it was cheap booze. In that case, my third guess may have gotten it, because I for sure wouldn't have guessed some protected intellectual property being responsible for stifling you.

That's too bad. At least cheap booze has a fun phase, don't know that protecting intellectual property for the purpose of stifling innovative thinking sound like a good time.

You go, boy!
