I'm perfectly happy with chopping down the patent law mess one large portion at a time if need be.
Trying to do it all at once is almost guaranteed to fail. In the present political environment it's usually better to start by taking legs out from the under the table one at a time.
The obvious solution is to exclude pharma from the patent legislation wars for now. Once a big portion of the economy is unhindered from patent trolls, then pharma can be re-examined.
If all that happened is that we free the radical majority of the economy from patent trolls, but were still left with pharma patents, then so be it, it'd still be a drastic improvement from where we're standing.
