It is happening already.  and why not if someone has and idea for a name
and they put their money into it  as an investment  its a gamble they take.
So why not  I know that some  people  who  have no brains or gumption  will
whine but the whiners of the world are just that. probably no hopers  dole
bludgers or even worse  socialist eh.?
 and we cant stop the world to let them off  "yet"  perhaps in time and in a
perfect world. eh.

> "These are literally the hottest names in US politics right now", said
PoliticsOnline President Phil Noble. "We expect a lot of competition for
these valuable names from all sorts of news and political organizations. <PS
so far the bidding has reached all of $130> We bought these names two years
ago with no idea as to what we would do with them. They were just too good
to pass up", said Noble. "It would be nice to make a few bucks but mostly we
just want to see what will happen when such great names go up for sale."
