You don't own your ideas, even if you have never shared them outwardly...

Remember that form we told you that you had to sign if you wanted to stay employed?  Ya, it pretty much said "We own you", and that includes all of your thoughts, ideas, whims, dreams and aspirations; those of yesterday, today, and all the way through the infinite future whether or not you remain employed here or not.  Thanks for being such a loyal contributor to the Borg!
