Folks, I know you're tired of me yelling at you, but you should be aware that there's a hearing this morning being held by the US House Judiciary Committee on a "copyright" bill that will essentially break the entire internet.You like the internet, right? I mean, you're here

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I heard about this one the news, wait no I read about this on the news's Chyron crawl. That's about all I heard of it. Signed and sent to my three reps.

I've sent things to my representatives as well. Hopefully this will not pass, and big brother really will not we watching any more than he already is.

I'm not a fan of anyone spying on us under the ruse of hacking and piracy. This thing just needs to die and fast.

It amazes me how much privacy and personal freedom that some people will give up in the name of patriotism and keeping the herd safe.

Ugh. People need to question authority more often.

I hope this dies and fades away really fast.

With all of this talk about how "China owns us"...When this shit comes down the poop chute, I have to wonder...

I was watching some shows about the origins of WW1 and how it led directly to WW2, and the bizarre situation with Hungary and the Ottoman Empire...Stuff I did NOT know about before-hand...It's fascinating yet scary as shit how everything that's going on now has been going on SINCE WW1, we just can't escape it. I mean, Unintended Consequences does not begin to sum up everything under the radar.

SIGH.

Hindsight is, as they say, 20/20. A lot of this has been going on for far longer than WWI. People are sheep, and are very willing to go along with those few who are very passionate and very loud, whether or not they are actually correct or even representative of the population as a whole.

yup. Sheeple, as the term goes :P
