Stupid patent for double-clicking

I just saw a news article on Slashdot that American patent agency has granted a patent for double clicking. How could they even patent such an obvious thing. What is going to be next?! Patenting walking and breathing, blogging maybe?! It looks like the patent practice in USA is really and totaly screwed up and it is also very bad for all people and general scientific and technological advance of humanity. It is currently much better in European Union but if people do nothing about it we may soon have the same pathetic situation as in USA. So start fighting against stupid patents here for example: NO Software Patents in Europe.
