If I invent something I should have the right to make money off the invention exclusively, not the patent itself. I can come up with a dozen ways to make this work. Why is it so hard for people to make patent laws fair!?! What a $hitty world!
I don't think that makes terribly much sense, really...
Not everyone has either the means or capability to manufacture products, so the ability to sell their idea (and the rights thereto) is one I'm happy to protect.
Likewise, a simplistic implementation of "use-it-or-lose-it" style time limits would be harmful to smaller, independent inventors.
I think it's obvious that some changes are needed, but I definitely don't think it's a simple matter.
