Just curious: Can I copyright the word "maverick" or anything?
Edited on Tue Oct-07-08 02:53 PM by ck4829
True story, an ancestor of mine is responsible for the word "maverick," he never took the time to brand his cattle, he went by the name Maverick, has cattle became known as Mavericks, and the term stuck.

I feel like it's my word and McCain shouldn't be using it.

3. You could put "Country First" and call the Obama campaign
and see if they would want to copyright it. They might have to money to get it done quick enough to count
