I agree lawsuits are not sane solution but as you hinted they are the only tools for 'non consensus driven' change at a personal/corp level. Pretty much everything else I think about involves congress which requires influencing elections which requires large amounts of money (esp for numerous HR seats as opposed to presidential).
BTW govt agency accepting comments might as well direct them to trash bin directly. you can see that from recent FCC net neutrality debacle.
>In the meanwhile, you are quite literally blaming the people who are doing pretty much the best they can. They have very short periods of time to get their work done, etc.
what I am blaming them for is not doing their job properly and which very evidently causes everything to be deferred to courts to fight it out, which needs lots of money and introduces uncertain subjectivity (east texas district for instance). guess what that translate to for individual companies, more defensive patents.
I hate to say it but I agree with stallman to a degree on this.

TL; DR - i don't like the governance system my country built :)
Sorry, but either change it, or live with it.
Making an end run around it is bad.

This is false for many agencies, and is definitely not true of the USPTO.
"what I am blaming them for is not doing their job properly"
They very very much are.
"and which very evidently causes everything to be deferred to courts to fight it out"
This doesn't even make any sense.
People fight it out in court because there is a lot of money involved. IT doesn't matter if the PTO says it's valid or not, people fight either way.
What you've written seems like a very angry and uninformed rant.
I would urge you to actually go and study the history and details here, instead of just making a bunch of assumptions and asserting non-factual things as fact.
