3. Back in 1985, a DC based journalist had a spirited discussion with friends at the dinner table about the state of the US infrastructure. In the course of the discussion, he used the expression: "The elephant in the room is the gasoline tax - no one wants to raise it to support infrastructure projects." Ever since, the expression "the elephant in the room" has caught on and everyone seems to be using it. Would it have been possible to copyright "the elephant in the room"? [My micro-lecture, slide 3, will help you answer the question.] (1 points)
